24-Year-Old Kenyan Man Dies by Suicide After Alleged Breakup with Older Girlfriend

A family in Kenya is in mourning following the tragic death of 24-year-old Kelvin Mwenda, who died after jumping from a three-story building in an apparent suicide. The incident occurred after Mwenda was allegedly rejected by his 32-year-old girlfriend, Joylyne Kendi, with whom he was reportedly deeply in love despite their significant age difference.

County Police Commander Zacchaeus Ng’eno confirmed the details of the incident, stating that Mwenda arrived at his girlfriend’s rented apartment on the day of the tragedy. After being denied access to the premises, he is said to have jumped from the building, leading to fatal injuries.

The sudden loss has sent shockwaves through Mwenda’s social circles. One of his former schoolmates publicly mourned him online, extending heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family and urging couples to be mindful and respectful of each other’s emotional well-being.

Authorities are continuing investigations into the circumstances surrounding Mwenda’s death, which has raised broader concerns about mental health awareness and relationship pressures among young adults in Kenya.
