Kenyan policeman directs colleagues to settle his debts, kills self
EKO HOT BLOG reports that a Kenyan Constable (name withheld) committed suicide, leaving a suicide note in which he asked his colleagues to contribute money and pay his debts.
According to reports, the suicide letter dated December 9 claimed that the deceased police officer suffered from sadness as a result of his failure to pay his obligations.
In his suicide note, he stated that he had a debt of Ksh81,000 (almost N300,000) that he was unable to pay.
The three-page suicide note featured instructions from the late constable to his pals, requesting them to create a group, donate money, and settle his debtors, the names of whom were provided in the message.
For his burial rites, he wrote, “Just pick me and send me home.”
He also added a special message to his family including his four children assuring them that he cherished them so much.
He also gave instructions on how his clothes should be distributed. The Mombasa-based policeman’s body was found dangling from the roof of his house, with his clothes neatly arranged.
A former Nairobi Governor, Mike Sonko, has, however, intervened by settling some of the debt left by the police officer.
Sonko revealed that he had cleared the Ksh1,000 and Ksh50,000 debts which the deceased indicated in the suicide note.
