The caretaker of the lodge who pleaded for anonymity disclosed that he reported the incident to the police after every attempt to revive him failed in the hospital.

He also said “A friend who stayed with him when he regained consciousness in the hospital said he complained of frustration with his last examination ecounter and financial hardship.

He told him that his family was not giving him enough money for upkeep. He said he was bitter that the lecturer also seized his phone.

“When I rushed to the lodge, I saw him on the floor clutching a kitchen knife. We immediately rushed him to the hospital and he was given immediate medical attention. “We later returned to his room where we discovered rat poison and bleach. We also saw syringes on the floor.

We also saw a rope tied to his ceiling fan.

“He is a loner because I have not seen him with any friend since he parked into the lodge. I was surprised that one girl who identified herself as Scholastica showed up as his girlfriend. I think he must have been suffering depression silently.”
