A Kenyan student based in Finland shared some recent conversations with the deceased student.
The late Rodgers Kipruto became depressed and tried to return to Kenya but was thwarted by many friends, the student studying at Lauria University of Applied Sciences said.
This week, it was announced that Mr. Kipruto, who attended Lauria University for a nursing degree program, had committed suicide there.
The student explained that the deceased initially entertained the idea of returning to Kenya in June 2023. His decision was reached due to the difficult times and challenges he was facing in Finland.
