Kenyan Commits Suicide Over Manchester United’s Loss by chaloner(m): 1:21am On Dec 10, 2013
A Kenyan fan unable to cope with Manchester United’s loss to Newcastle United committed suicide over the weekend, according to police.

John Macharia, 28, plunged to his death from a multi-storey apartment block in the capital, Nairobi. This followed United’s 1-0, their second home defeat in four days.

“Macharia jumped from seventh floor of an apartment at Pipeline Estate after realising that his team Manchester United lost 1-0 to Newcastle at Old Trafford and committed suicide,” said Nairobi’s County Police Commander Benson Kibui.

Macharia’s death is reminiscent of the suicide by a Kenyan Arsenal fan in 2009. Suleiman Omondi, 29, was found hanging in his flat after the Gunners were trounced 3-1 by Manchester United in the second leg of a Champions League semi-final.

Kibui urged football-obsessed Kenyan fans to support local teams rather than foreign clubs who do not have a link to the east African nation.

“The football fans should enjoy the matches… but they should not commit suicide since life is very precious,” Kibui added.
