GOSPEL musician Richard Nhika shot a two minutes video committing suicide in a bush near Goodhope suburb.<\/p>\n
After consuming the poisonous substance believed to be cotton pesticide, Richard who was now an Apostolic Faith Mission junior pastor was taken to Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals where he died the following day.<\/p>\n
From evidence gathered from the video, the 38-year-old man of cloth took away his life over a misunderstanding with his girlfriend only identified as Nomatter.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will always love you Nomatter, which is why when I saw you I never insulted you or said anything bad.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have decided to die next to this tree so that everyone can see, this is real poison you can even see for yourself.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will always love you Nomatter and thank you for taking away my life,\u201d he said whilst drinking the pesticide.<\/p>\n
Family spokespersons Pauline Busu and Nyasha Nhika said they were saddened by the death of their relative.<\/p>\n
They said they never thought Richard would decide to end his life considering his spiritual background.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we got to the scene where he committed suicide, we found the video in his phone which he had shot taking away his life.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are convinced that this was a spiritual attack that happened to him because in his normal senses, he would not have done something like this.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was a pastor at AFM Church and he was actually launching his album he featured Mathias Mhere, Dereck Mpofu and Sharon Manyonganise and no one ever expected him to do such a thing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are receiving calls from many people who he ministered to, even some influential people are also calling us sending their condolence messages.<\/p>\n
\u201cTwo days before he died, he would wake up in the middle of the night praying and no one ever bothered to ask what was going on in his life,\u201d Pauline said.<\/p>\n
When asked whether they knew the reason he committed suicide, Nyasha interjected:<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was fine, he never shared with us if he was facing any problems with anyone, we only heard of him mentioning a lady called Nomatter in his video.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom what he was saying in the video, it seems she was his girlfriend and they were having some challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, no one from our family had ever met her, but we are looking forward to seeing her so that she explains to us what really went wrong between her and Richard.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo far from the investigations we made, we were informed that they go to the same church and they were in love.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, mourners are gathered at Nhika\u2019s family house in Chitungwiza.<\/p>\n
His body will be ferried from Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals straight to Marondera Cemetery.<\/p>\n
