Senior Three student commits suicide over failed love affair
Residents of Wafuluya Cell, Magale town council in Namisindwa District are in shock after they found a 19-year-old girl was hanging dead in a tree on Thursday night .
According to the Elgon Regional Police Spokesperson ASP Rogers Taitika, the reasons for Catherine Seera, a Senior Three student to take her own life are not yet clear howver locals suspect it is a love affair gone wrong.
“It’s alleged that the deceased left home on Wednesday to Magale Town Council for leisure and after some time, she informed her sister that she was going to meet her boyfriend. At around 9pm Thursday, one of her neighbours found her on the rope hanging dead,” he said.
She was staying with her sister Edith Nabulwale at the time of the incident.
Mr Taitika told this publication that they suspect that the deceased might have committed suicide over a failed love affair.
The Magale Town Council Chairperson, Mr Martin Muyekukha, urged police to investigate the matter to its conclusion to establish the real cause.
The body was taken to Mbale City Mortuary for Post-mortem as investigations go on.
This becomes the second incident in a mother where students take their own lives in the same area.
Late last month another senior three student at Magale Secondary School allegedly hanged herself.
Immaculate Mukite,18, a resident of Bumakhono cell in Magale Town Council used a piece of cloth to take away her life inside her bedroom.
This sounds to be beyond a failed luv affair. Detectives shd dig deeper to track those human blood suckers disguised as boyfriends targeting students in the village
better dead than alive, in the life of today, things are hard, harder than just difficult or failing love; if she lived for long, should would become a danger for others, see how terrorists do things, see how some women poison all the children or husband just because she is going to commit suicide herself, so the girl's death before producing is safer
