.......I DONT HAVE TIME TO READ ALL THE FOOLISH AND STUPID COMMENTS HERE. BUT I AM ONLY HERE TO TELL YOU GUYS THAT HER HUSBAND HAS NEVER BEATEN HER AND HER HUSBAND IS NOT THE ONE THAT KILLED HER. ALL THE PEOPLE SAYING THE HUSBAND BEATS HER REGULARLY ARE LIES. THE HUSBAND IS A VERY GENTLE AND EASY GOING PERSON.....DR HESTIA STILL VISITED ME ABOUT 2MONTHS AGO AND I VISIT HER AND PLAY WITH HER CHILDREN REGULARLY. I KNOW THE HUSBAND VERY WELL TOO ...THEY ARE BOTH VERY COOL HEADED AND EASY GOING.ALL I WILL SAY FOR NOW IS THAT ...THE HUSBAND DID NOT KILL HER.

DR HESTIA'S MUM KNOWS HER DAUGHTER WELL AND SHE KNOWS THE HISTORY OF HER DAUGHTER WITH DEPRESSION AND SUCIDAL THOTS. ETC......GO AND ASK HER MUM ABOUT HER CHILD. THEN YOU WILL ALL KNOW THAT HER DEATH IS NOT A RESULT OF ANYTHING FROM HER HUSBAND AT ALL.
People that suffer domestic violence always look perfect on the outside,even the people closest to them hardly suspect,the batterer usually look cool and calm,the victim usually hide their problem from the world in the name of protecting her man and marriage. Seeing a mark on her skull,do you really think she can do that to herself? Why would people start saying she died from domestic violence.In every rumour there is an iota of truth. How can someone just wake up and say that poor woman killed herself. Definately,that marriage isn't healthy

Sad............

If her husband didn't kill her, someone has to explain the gash on her skull (If there really is one).

Spousal abuse is usually well hidden, you never usually know the person is being abused,
abuser are able to hide their marks well.

For all those saying the know the couple and vouching for the husband: Never say never.

I know some abused women........they always seem happy when outsiders are there since they don't want people knowing their spouse is violent, so they learn to hide the bruises and tell-tale signs.

May her soul RIP, let's hope her killer gets caught.

I think the person that said she knows the man and wife and kids and everyone is calm and cool should look at domestic violence cases. The marriage is always perfect to the outsider, that is why the shame is most and the woman quiet...until death.

Unless that lady fell off a building, or ran in front of a bus, she was killed. The damage on one side of the body could mean a right handed person or left handed person, depending on the side, concentrated on the side easiest for them.

It would also be good to find out if the suicidal attempts were after marriage. That could be because she felt helpless.

Also she does look very calm. An insecure man will take advantage of that indeed. Most times the insecurity is most strong when the woman is intelligent and EVERYONE knows they are intelligent. At that point for his manhood, he might beat her to assert his dominance and to make sure she does not try to show her intelligence in his presence.

I really hope her colleagues will not allow tradition to desecrate the memory of their colleague. Please do not allow the so called family shame to make you listen to their desire to cover it up if it indeed was domestic violence. Honor her well by fighting for her. Do not simply listen to the mom tell you she was suicidal. Sometimes our parents do not know us as well as they think. Listen to her friends, look at the evidence.

Finally a sharp cut in her skull means a sharp object impacted her, a knife maybe? A plastic over her head could be the culprits way of preventing the blood lose.

Ladies, if you are in an abusive marriage, leave! No man is worth it. You will find love somewhere else. God did not make his daughters to be the prey of insecure men. His deliverance was for everyone.

What were their parents looking at before it got to this stage of irreparable loss?

Heard her father is a Professor in Uniben.

What was their church looking at? I am sure they were preaching the same endurance and patience and see where it led to, with that beast of a husband.

The lady has always been serially battered by her husband.

UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS NO RULE OF LAW IN NIGERIA AND THE ALLEGED KILLER-HUSBAND COULD ESCAPE JUSTICE. IF YOU'RE IN A VIOLENT RELATIONSHIP AND READING THIS, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHAT YOUR CLUELESS PASTOR OR PRIEST TELLS YOU, GET OUT OF THAT RELATIONSHIP RIGHT NOW BEFORE YOU BECOME THE NEXT VICTIM. THEN IT WOULD BE TOO LATE.

So what happened to suggest those injuries described. She jumped from a fifth floor window or threw herself before a buldozer. The husband still has a lot of explaining to do because there are a lot of things he could have done to prevent this tragedy.

RIP. Hestia. The most intelligent girl in the class. Mankind has lost a gem.




@all we have heard from a colleague on the issue. Let's not jumobto conclusions on the COD. We await the findings after investigations



Modified.

@Dalu thanks for the updates. Let's leave the family to grieve thier loss especially the husband. The issue of suicide is frankly looked upon with almost taboo like views in this country.
It's hard to fathom but there it is.



Once again RIP smart one.

No it's not a well known fact.. Hestia worked with me for years.. She came in in a pool of blood with a nylon bag over her head face smashed in chest and arms fractured.. Husband told us she had a history of depression and suicidal attempts and that her family know this.. For now we are working with that.. The family may or may not confirm this.. She's had a full body scan post mortem and is in the morgue.. Please don't speculate and cause unnecessary pain to her 2 kids

Yes I had 2. I saw life as a Priviledge, Precious & worth Living not just for self but living also 4 others who care about u.
It wasn't actually easy as so called friends were backbiting me in secret. But wat helped me more was dat I helped in Spreading d gossip which silenced everyone. Wenever I meet such pipu, & dey pretend & ask 'how's ur husband? I answer quickly. 'Which husband? I ve divorced him. I spread my story myself & it shut d mouths of gossips as dey didn't ve anytin or anyone 2 tell.
BTW: d gossips got me my hubby now as he wanted 2 cum find out d truth 4 himself how ds innocent, quiet girl grin can be a divorcee.... Na der d luv start grin. 2day d rest is history.
But one impt tin is dat, I didn't rush in2 a 2nd marriage. I waited 3 good yrs 2b sure it wasn't out of Pity.

yeah about that too.. Sometimes jumpers cover their eyes or faces so they don't see death sort of a check against last minute dissuation...especially common in serial failed attempts.. Which they claim she had done..

Why not find out why the marraige failed rather that stack up against the 'society' we exploit to our advantage when times are good and vilify when things go wrong. The 'society' expects you to get educated and advanced. Why don't you kick against that. The fact that a union has failed has nothing to do with society rather it has all to do with the couple involved afterall there are millions of unions worldwide having no problems whatsoever and when I mean problems, problems that well within the abilities of the couples to handle them. You are a product of such.

we've asked for a full bid scan and an autopsy.. That's as much as I can say here.. We are expecting a response from her family. That will determine if we believe or disbelieve the tale of a long history of suicidal attempts
Thanks Bro for the update we will like you to keep us posted on this case, for guys that batter women I find it absolutely unnecessary and totally unacceptable ,if there are issues in the marriage it is more honourable to end it

no one is blaming society Mr. What I meant was that society, especially the nigeran society expects a woman in an abusive marriage to stay put cos of the kids and cos of the stigma that comes with being divorced. But the lady in question put her life before anyother. If she obliged to the expectation of our society, I don't think she would be able to share her experience here. I have close friends facing this same problem. Pple tell dem" stay for the sake of your kids", "God is against divorce", "don't let another woman take your husband". Like its a do or die affair. We should all know when to stop. As the saying goes, "the dead cant speak".
