The lifeless body of the 19 year old was found dangling from a centrepole in her granny’ s house.
The suicide note detailed that the deceased was two months pregnant.

Police from Pap Onditi processed the scene and ferried the body to the local morgue awaiting postmortem examination.

According to sources, Kimani joined a religious grouping that cherishes the outlawed Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and approved polygamy.
