Suicide: Worrying trend in universities

Worrying as it, cases of students who commit suicide are rarely reported by university administrations. Deans of students tasked with imparting sanity in students and ensuring they lead healthy lives on campus are sometimes caught unawares when students get to a point of no return and take their own lives.

No one, for instance, at the University of Nairobi knew when Catherine Njeri, a former student at the university was planning end her death. In a shocking confession, the student claimed to have slept with more than 100 men and tried to commit suicide five times.
