On Friday, December 16, a 22-year-old woman who had jumped from a building’s sixth storey in Nairobi’s Parklands was taken to the hospital.
According to reports, the woman risked her life by jumping off the building from the rooftop of her flat.
Her attempt at suicide was thwarted when she fell through the windscreen of a car, which provided a safer landing area.
“She escaped death with serious cuts on her body but we hope that she will not die,” Parklands police confirmed.
Police report showed that she lived with her sister in the same building from where she attempted to take her own life.
“The incident happened at 2 am on Friday morning, and she was immediately taken for a medical check up,” the police report noted.
It was also revealed that the victim had sent a text message to her sister, detailing a plan to end his life.
In a text message, she told her sister that she had written two suicide notes, and strategically placed them within the house.
According to her sister, one of the suicide notes was directed to her employer while the other was meant for her family.
The woman who is fighting for his life decried frustration from a number of people who could not listen to her .
“We will wait for her to heal before we could interrogate her, based on the applicable laws of the land,” police detailed in a statement.
