A 22-year-old woman is admitted to hospital in critical condition after she jumped from the sixth floor of a building she lives in Parklands area, Nairobi in an apparent suicide mission.
Ann Wanjiku went to the rooftop of the house she lives with her sister on Thursday morning and threw herself to the ground before landing on parked vehicles.
The incident happened at 2 am on Thursday, other tenants at the estate and police said.
The victim had sent a text to her sister who was in the house directing her where to find two suicide notes.
One of the suicide notes was directed to her employer and another to their family.
The notes apparently cited frustrations as the cause of her attempt to die by suicide.
The woman was rushed to the hospital where she was admitted in critical condition.
Police said they will wait for her to heal before they interrogate her.
It is a criminal offense to attempt suicide, police said.
