Girl commits suicide after boyfriend rejects her marriage proposal

A 20 year-old girl committed suicide by hanging herself at Sameta, Mikindani in Mombasa.

Surprisingly her 23 year-old boyfriend arrived at her home and found her helplessly hanging on a scarf that she had used to kill herself.

The boyfriend alerted the neighbours and headed to Mikindani Police post to record a statement.

In a statement to the police, the man alleged that the deceased insisted he marry her which he refused saying that it was too early to get married.

He then told her, he will marry her when he is 25 years-old and stable enough and thereafter ended their one year relationship.

This angered the girl. She knelt before him pleading with him but it bore no fruits as even some of the neighbours supported the man’s decision.

On the morning of the incident, the man called his girlfriend to know how she was doing and she said that she had accepted her fate only to commit suicide later in the evening.
