The first-year university student who committed suicide for unknown reasons left the Site and Service estate on the outskirts of Kericho town in shock and grief.

As per the police report, Faith Charity Makhulu, a 19-year-old student, committed suicide by hanging herself with a manila rope that was hanging from their residential house's rooftop in the hallway.

The student was nine months pregnant when she committed suicide, but no suicide note was discovered on her, so the cause of death was not immediately known.

One provincial administration officer, speaking under anonymity, claimed that the student had hung herself after her boyfriend had broken up with her.


The mother of the deceased found the body hanging from the rooftop.

Last night, after all of the family members had gone to sleep, the student was suspected of hanging herself.

After the mother set off an alarm, neighbors and other bystanders noticed and hurried to the scene, where they tried in vain to save the dead woman, but she had already died.

After the incident was reported, police from the Kericho Police Station hurried to the scene, removed the body, and transported it to the mortuary at Kericho Referral Hospital.

To determine the reason behind the incident, investigations have been started.
