A 42-year-old man has reportedly committed suicide after discovering that he is not the biological father of his 10-year-old daughter in South Africa.
A Twitter user, Mo Magoda, who shared the story, said the man has been married to the mother of the child for 13 years.
According to him, the man discovered that the child wasn’t his after he found DNA test results and court papers served to the wife by the biological father who was demanding access to his daughter.
He wrote, “A 42 year old man killed himself after he discovered that he is not the biological father of his 10 year old daughter that he raised. The man has been married to the mother of the child for 13 years.
“This is after the man discovered that he is not the biological father after he saw court papers served to the mother by the biological father who was demanding access to his daughter.
“The biological father attached DNA test results…I think he was dumb to kill him self. He should’ve stayed alive to sue for damages this thing cost him for 10yrs. But he was shortsighted.”
The incident has triggered mixed reactions on social media with some people calling for compulsory paternity tests while others said paternity fraud should be an offence punishable by law.
