Mr Kinuthia is also said to have sent her money on several occasions, even after she asked him not to.
For men,being rejected makes us feel emasculated and inferior.
Unfortunately, some men will take their pain out on others through guilt tripping, verbal attacks, and even physical violence.
What women need to do is try and limit the negative impact of their rejection. And this all starts by understanding investment.
The more we invest our emotions or time in something, the more attached we become. So the longer you wait to tell a man you’re not interested, the harder he will take it.But by letting a guy keep believing there’s a chance he can get with you, he’s only going to be more frustrated, hurt, or angry when things don’t pan out. It’s not worth it. Cut things off as soon as you know you don’t want to be romantic to reduce the chance of a negative reaction.
Ms Wangechi, who joined the university in 2012, was due to graduate this year with a bachelor’s degree in medicine.
The Dean of the School of Medicine, Prof Lukoye Atwoli, on Wednesday described Ms Wangechi as a good, hardworking student who was progressing well in her final year.
“She was an A student. She was hardworking. We normally rate our students as either pass or fail and Wangechi was doing well,” he said.
Speaking to detectives on Wednesday, Mr Kinuthia said he was angered by Ms Ivy Wangechi’s adamant refusal to be his girlfriend, although he had sent her money on several occasions. The Sh14,000 he sent her for a birthday party was the last straw that led Mr Naftali Njahi Kinuthia to kill the woman of his dreams.
Kinuthia said he sent Ms Wangechi Sh14,000 last week for her birthday party, which should have been held on Wednesday.
“He said he was angry that she continued to ignore his calls, saying it was not the first time he was sending her money, and that he was not happy to be denied a chance to celebrate her birthday,” said Eldoret East Directorate of Criminal Investigations Officer Ali Kingi.
Another friend who requested anonymity said he enjoyed supper with Ms Wangechi a fortnight ago in a hotel in Eldoret town, and she confided in him that a man who had been stalking her had threatened to kill himself if she continued to reject his advances.
“She did not appear scared, but I told her not to dismiss such threats. I told her people who threaten to commit suicide might do something sinister before doing so,” he told the Nation.
The student said that after she told him about Mr Kinuthia’s threat, she became reclusive and started avoiding her colleagues.
“We always chatted freely and she was so lively but for the past two weeks, after she told me about the suicide threat, she became quiet and withdrawn. I would text her and she would only reply hours later, unlike before,” he said. His attempts to find out what was bothering her were fruitless.
Mr Kinuthia is also said to have sent her money on several occasions, even after she asked him not to.
The friend said that early this year, Ms Wangechi told him that Mr Kinuthia had sent her an expensive perfume and a mobile phone with a note expressing his love for her.
“It was an expensive perfume, that is what I remember Wangechi telling me. The phone must have cost about Sh10,000,” he said.
