How Sidechick’s message pushed a mother of one to commit suicide

A heartbreaking text message from the current lover of a woman’s baby daddy compounded her woes, consequently pushing her into suicide

The 28 year old woman from Gaturi Village in South Imenti, Meru County killed herself shortly after posting suicide notes on social media.

Millicent Kithinji Mwiriki had taken to Facebook to seek forgiveness from her father and 3-year-old daughter, Makena, over the action she was about to take.

At 3:30pm, she wrote this Facebook status update meant for her daughter: “My love, I can’t find words that would form a perfect statement to express how much I love you. I have fought the battle, but it seems I am almost losing it. I only pray that God may give you guidance, love and comfort. Mum still loves you, and will always love you. Kindly, forgive me [for taking my own life].”

This message was preceded by another meant for her father.

“Dad, I am sorry, but I am not able to break the news that I am about to commit suicide. I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive me,” read Ms Mwiriki’s Facebook post at 3:20pm.

It is reported that Mwiriki got a heart breaking message from her baby daddy’s new lover.

“I am pregnant for your husband [sic]; it is high time you accept that he moved on, and there is no possibility of him getting back together with you,” read a text message Ms Mwiriki received from one Stacy, who introduced herself as the current lover of Ms Mwiriki’s baby daddy.

According to the informant, Ms Mwiriki’s baby daddy had gone back to school – Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) in Nakuru County – to further his education, and promised to marry Ms Mwiriki once he graduated in December 2018.

“The man completely cut off communication with Ms Mwiriki after his graduation. That could have catalysed our relative’s frustrations,” revealed.

So heartbroken Ms Mwiriki was that she saw suicide was an option to escape the pain.

Ms Mwiriki had taken to Facebook on Thursday, March 21 to seek forgiveness from her father and 3-year-old daughter, Makena, over the action she was about to take.
