Jessica Beer, a 19-year-old female
student of Dyege Memorial College, Akpehe, Makurdi, Benue State, on
Wednesday committed suicide after her boyfriend, identified simply as
Labi, impregnated another girl and subsequently dumped her.
A close friend of the victim, who did
not want her name mentioned, told our correspondent that Beer killed
herself because she loved Labi and could not accept that she had been
jilted.
The friend further said her late friend
believed that after impregnating another girl, her future plans with
Labi was in jeopardy.
The source said when she went to Beer’s residence, she met the victim on the floor, vomiting blood.
She said, “My friend had brought a sharp
knife the day before the incident to my house. She said I should follow
her to her boyfriend’s house, threatening to deal with him. But I
advised her not to take the law into her own hands.
