A second year student at Maseno University committed suicide on Wednesday night over his 'cheating' girlfriend.
The student identified as Brian Owino hanged himself inside his house in Mabungo, after finding out his girlfriend 'wasn’t faithful' .
According to the letter found on his dining table on Thursday morning, Brian was angry after he learned that Njeri Kagendo, his girlfriend, was going out with another man.
In the letter, Brian noted that he loved his girlfriend with all his heart until she betrayed him.
“You were a friend, a person I could confide in and most importantly a lover. I trusted you and gave you my heart,” read the handwritten letter.
Confirming the incident, Maseno police boss Mr. Langat said the victim may have tried to save himself but failed.
“His neck has severe injuries from rope burn. It’s likely he tried to recover himself from the rope,” said Langat.
Brian’s body was taken to Russia Hospital Mortuary awaiting the burial ceremony in Siaya.
