Pregnant Form 4 Pupils Kills Self By Gulping Insecticide

A 17-year-old Form 4 pupil at Magwegwe Secondary School in Bulawayo named only as Nokuzola is believed to have committed suicide by drinking an insecticide a day after her mother chided her for “playing with boys” and neglecting her schoolwork.

Unbeknown to her mother, Nokuzola had already “played with boys” too far and had fallen pregnant. Inspector Abednico Ncube of Bulawayo police said:

Police are investigating a case of sudden death which occurred in Magwegwe suburb. The mother of the late reprimanded her on Monday evening not to play with boys as she might get pregnant while urging her to concentrate on her school work.

According to Inspector Ncube, the mother left home in the morning on Tuesday for her vending business leaving her daughter with their 19-year-old housekeeper. He added:

On the same day at around 10 AM, the now-deceased ordered the maid to go and bath. The maid went to bath leaving the now deceased in the bedroom alone.

When the maid came back from bathing she found the now deceased lying on the floor in her mother’s bedroom vomiting. The maid informed a neighbour who summoned an ambulance.

The police found the deceased lying on the floor in the bedroom next to a bed with vomit on the floor. An empty 100ml bottle of Dichlorvos insecticide with a purple triangle was found on top of the wardrobe. We suspect the late pupil drank the contests of the bottle.

Inspector Ncube said a female friend of Nokuzola told police that she had tested herself for pregnancy and confirmed that she was pregnant.

Nokuzola reportedly made threats to commit suicide if anyone disclosed the pregnancy to her parents.

The body was taken to Mpilo Central Hospital for a post-mortem.
