Police in Kenya are investigating the death of a 27-year-old man, Anthony Juma who took his own life over fears that his heavily pregnant wife may have a miscarriage for the third time.
According to reports, Juma committed suicide when he hanged himself using a rope inside his rented apartment at Rodi Kopany Township in Homa Bay Sub-county on Sunday.
Reports say the body of Juma was found dangling from the roof of his apartment by his wife who went to call him to attend to some domestic chores.
Younger brother of the deceased, Jared Juma informed that his brother had serious psychological issues based on past experiences of his wife losing their children.
“My brother was traumatized by the loss of his two children through miscarriages. He was withdrawn because he thought he might lose the third child too,” said Jared.
“I asked him whether the boss was frustrating him but he told me ‘no’. I then involved friends for counseling to enable him believe that his wife can deliver successfully,” he added.
He said the couple had gone through counseling after the second miscarriage, but it appeared his brother never got over the trauma.
