A 300-Level Medical Laboratory student of the University of Benin (UNIBEN), Christabel was on Tuesday evening discovered dead in her hostel room at Newton Street, Ekosodin area of Benin City, after allegedly taking some deadly substance to end her life.
The details of the incident were still sketchy as at press time Tuesday night but according to eyewitnesses, she mixed the deadly insecticide popularly called Snipper with a 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.
But another witness who confirmed the incident said an empty sachet of Klin detergent was found on the spot where her body laid.
