Tragedy Strikes as Great Zimbabwe University Student Commits Suicide Over Married Boyfriend

A 22-year-old student at Great Zimbabwe University, Lillian Rusike, ended her life after discovering her boyfriend’s marital status.

Lillian was interning at Masvingo Rural District Council when her life took a dark turn.

Known for her deep religious faith, Lillian was a cherished member of the Roman Catholic Church at St. Theresa Rujeko.

She was deeply involved in church activities, often leading in praise and worship.

Lillian’s relationship with Farai was central to her existence; she believed in his promises of marriage.

Her heartbreak was profound upon learning Farai was married with children.

Mitchell Gumbo, a friend, noted that Lillian’s life was centered around her love for Farai.

Lillian, who had given her virginity to Farai, saw him as her destined husband.

The betrayal shattered her, leading her to feel her world had crumbled.

Her discovery came after Farai’s wife confronted her at her workplace, escalating the situation.

Lillian’s response was to take her own life in despair; no note was left.

Her aunt found her, marking the end of a bright young life with promise.

The news of her death spread quickly, leaving her friends and family in shock.

A church service was held at her aunt’s home in Mucheke, where she grew up.

Lillian was laid to rest at Mhandamabwe Business Centre in Chivhu.

Her passing has left a void in the community, mourning the loss of a vibrant soul.
