A young Nairobi woman has hanged herself hours after she shared a suicide note on Facebook.
The lady, identified as Martha Kwamboka, took to social media to express her frustrations but did not specify what was disturbing her. She asked her friends not to write rest in peace (RIP) messages on her wall.
“Feeling suicidal, I am frustrated. Whoever I wronged I am sorry. I will shine on your way, bye."
"At least I tried to share my mind and worries. Do not type RIP on my timeline, I am gone for good,” she wrote on Facebook.
Her lifeless body was found by neighbors hanging from her apartment's balcony in Kayole estate hours after she posted the suicide message.
Unverified reports indicate that Kwamboka decided to take away her own life after learning that her man was in an affair with a neighbor.
She is not the first young Kenyan to commit suicide after posting suicide note on Facebook. In June, a photographer from Nyahururu, Gerald Mwangi Ngima killed himself hours after posting a suicide note online.
Last month, a lady identified as Joki Sue also shared a suicide note indicating that she was tired of people fleecing her.

Haya ndiyo matunda ya kufuata mila za watu wengine. Ni mwiko (taboo) kwa Mwafrika kujiua. Lakini, Ndugu zetu na dada zetu wa Yuropa, ndio sehemu moja ya mila zao.
Ukichunguza kwa makini utaona ya kwamba Marehemu Dada Kwamboka ni mfuasi wa Imani ya Marehemu Mwana Miriamu/Mariamu. Ukitaka kupotea haraka, hebu acha mila zako, lugha yako, majina ya mababu zako, imani ya mababu zako na muda si mrefu, utaangamia milele na milele.
Oh please with all due respect, even in traditional Africa, people ended their lives prematurely, didn't Okonkwo kill himself - Things Fall Apart ? :-)
Okonkwo tayari alikuwa ameshakubali kuwa mfuasi wa dini za kigeni na pia alikuwa tayari ameshakuwa Mnaigerireza/Mnaigerilishi.
Baada ya miaka 50, Afrika itakuwa ni jina tu. Karibu kila kitu kitakuwa cha kigeni. Kwa nini? Watu wa bara la Afrika tayari wameshakubali kuwa maabara (laboratory) ya dunia nzima kwa kila kitu.
La Hasha! Okonkwo killed himself because he was unable to convince his tribal people not to follow the christian beliefs. He felt he was a failure and weak for not protecting his tribesmen. He was never a mfuasi. Also didn't he himself kill his own son- so much of a super tradition? He killed himself because of hopelessness maybe same as this woman..
