Young Nursing Mother Commits Suicide Due To Marriage Crisis
A young nursing mother identified as Mrs Esther Frank has reportedly committed suicide by drinking an insecticide known as Snipper, due to problems in her marriage.
Before carrying out the act, she dropped two suicidal notes for her family, one for her husband and the other for her kids in their home at Uyo, Akwa-Ibom state.
“Please take care of my children please. I can’t take the pressure and lies you are telling again. I can’t take it, please its too much. You made everyone around me to hate me.” She wrote to her husband.
To her children, she wrote: “Please forgive me, I am sorry. Gerald please forgive me. Andre please forgive me. You guys are my life.”
A neighbour identified as Iboro Etuk said she and the deceased had a chat before the incident. She said they both stood outside the gate of their compound to buy water before the deceased told her to take care of her children as she was going out to buy something.
Mrs Etuk explained that when she later heard the baby of the deceased crying continuously, she went inside the house of the deceased and found her on the floor that made her raise an alarm.
Esther, in her early 30s, was rushed by neighbours to St Luke’s Hospital in Anua, Uyo, where she was confirmed dead, leaving behind a three months old baby and a three-year-old son.
“Mrs. Esther Frank, is in her early thirties. She just graduated from the University and is yet to go for her youth service. She is from Anambra state while her husband, Mr Frank is from Delta state but he is currently in Dubai,” she said.
The children of the deceased are now currently staying with the neighbour.
When the Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Nndum Fredrick was contacted, he said he was yet to be briefed on the incident.
