The now deceased’s mother, Ms. Moyo, left home for Save River to do laundry. She left Kelvin with his two siblings aged eight and four as they were playing games on a cellphone.
While playing the games, Kelvin said he would hang himself if he lost the game. Kelvin lost the game against his two siblings.
After losing, Kelvin went into another room. He tried to do a suicide prank and hanged himself on a curtain thread. He tried to loosen it but failed and died.
Kelvin’s grandmother, Miriam Tutununu arrived at the homestead to fetch water and was told what had transpired by her two grandchildren.
