A 35-year-old Ethiopian man with three wives and many children committed a suicide by drinking pesticide after he was told by a Saudi hospital that he was infected with Aids, a newspaper in the Gulf kingdom reported on Tuesday.
The man was rushed to hospital in the western Red Sea port of Jeddah in a serious condition after drinking a large amount of pesticide but he died a week later.
“The committed a suicide after it was confirmed that he was infected with Aids…police detained his three wives to question them on how he was infected with the killer disease,” the Arabic language daily Okaz said.
Early this year, Saudi health authorities said they had discovered nearly 14,000 cases of the acquired immuno deficiency syndrome over the past 25 years. Most of them were expatriates who have been deported.
