In Kakamega County, residents are in deep shock after a tragic incident involving an 18-year-old form three student who reportedly took her own life after discovering painful truth about her relationship.
According to reports, the young girl had been in a romantic relationship with a 37-year-old man who allegedly deceived her that he was single.
The man is said to have promised her that he would wait for her to finish school so that he could marry her and make her his wife.
However, the situation changed after the student was informed by her friends that the man she trusted was actually married and had two children.
This news reportedly left her very heartbroken and confused. She then confronted the man, asking him why he lied to her about his real life.
After the confrontation, the situation became even more tragic. A few hours later, the girl was found dead in what police suspect to be suicide.
The incident has left the community shocked and mourning the loss of such a young life. The man involved has reportedly gone missing, and officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have started searching for him to assist with investigations.
Residents and leaders have expressed concern over the growing cases of young girls getting involved with older men. They are now calling for more awareness to protect students from harmful relationships that can affect their emotional health and future.
Authorities are also advising young people to focus on their education and seek guidance when facing emotional struggles, instead of making decisions that can lead to tragedy
