The source disclosed that an empty sachet of Klin detergent was found in the spot where she took her life.
According to him, “A small girl of that age will take her life all because of one boy. The policemen that came to evacuate the body were very angry after reading out loud the note she dropped.
“Thank God that she even dropped a note, if not the roommates would have been in hot soup, because investigation would have began from that point.”
Meanwhile, police officers at the Ugbowo police station have invited two person for questioning over the content of the letter.
Rumour circulated yesterday that Christabel mixed the deadly insecticide, popularly called Sniper with Sprite drink, and reportedly left a suicide note where she stated that she was about taking her life because the guy she loved didn’t love her in return after her boyfriend broke up with her.
