Meru student commits suicide after boyfriend cheated on her

Just like Romeo and Juliet, young adults picture themselves in a promising ‘love’ story with their partners.

That is no different to Fridah Makena from the Meru National polytechnic who took her on life over cheating boyfriend.

The incident dates few weeks ago when the boyfriend was reported unfaithful by her friends and they had some wrangles in the relationship.

“I am sorry but I can’t take it anymore. Kelvoh (Fridah’s boyfriend) is the last thing I wanted to lose. There’s no life without him. Suicide was the last thing I ever thought of but I give up. All the best and please don’t miss me,” Makena wrote to one of her friends.

Her boyfriend is studying in Cooperative university in Nairobi.

From Facebook posts, their relationship was candid as they could comment ‘sweet’ words in each others post. Her boyfriend once posted her saying she is her “all time crush”

A few minutes to 2pm last Friday, she messaged another of her friends on Whatsapp, telling him she did not want to live a second longer. Her friend consoled her, telling her she would overcome her problems and asked where she was. Makena replied: “I think I can’t. I have reached the end”.

Immediately after, Makena sent him a photo of nearly 20 white pills in an unwrapped brown paper, some which had spilled over onto a bed sheet.

Later that Friday, Makena took a video of herself as one by one, she popped the white pills down her throat, forcing them down with water she had held in a tumbler and moving away from the camera when she finished swallowing them.

Several hours later, she was reported dead.
