A Zetech University student, Ryan Kitari, died by suicide in his Witeithie apartment on Wednesday, December 11.
Ryan Kitari’s body was discovered hanging on the wall of the upper floor on the morning of December 11.
The deceased’s tragic decision came after he posted a heartfelt and disturbing note on his Facebook page on Tuesday, December 10.
Kitari detailed his struggles with financial hardship, academic pressure, and personal trauma.
He also expressed his distress over not being able to continue with his teaching practice scheduled for January 2025, a blame he put on his teacher.
Ryan Kitari Shares Emotional Note on Facebook
Ryan Kitari went on to apologise to his people, stating that he has been faking everything about his lifestyle.
He revealed that he had been faking a prosperous life while grappling with unpaid rent, lack of food, and having to sell his household items to survive.
“I chose to be a nice liar rather than a crybaby, while my world was crumbling. During all that, I diverted my psychological attention to relationships and my future, which kept me going,” Kitari said on Facebook.
“To begin with, my rent hasn’t been paid, my gas ran out a week ago, and I had to sell the cylinder to survive during exams.”

The note also revealed details about his upbringing, including being raised by a single mother.
“To others, I acted like nothing was wrong. Being raised by a single mother is the hardest thing for a male child. Sometimes, I had to do things I’m not proud of just to survive,” Ryan Kitari wrote on his Facebook.
“And I did all of this for what? For a female lecturer who has lots of complaints from students? I don’t know how she even got promoted.”
Accusations Against Lecturer
Ryan also accused a lecturer of deliberately failing him in an exam, which he felt was the final straw, leaving him without the means or will to repeat the course, pay rent, and continue his education.
“You gave me messy results in my first year, and now, even after HOD Linda acknowledged my TP participation (with whom I’ve been interacting throughout the semester because I adhered to the adjustments she instructed), this happens,” the student wrote.

He alleged that a lecturer, identified as Doreen Mwangi, had “jeopardized the only hope he had left,” referring to his efforts to finish the semester despite the overwhelming challenges he faced.
“I did everything to keep this semester going, even with the financial constraints, because I knew that in January, when I would be on TP, my parents, who have been reluctant to meet my needs, would have a financial break. That’s why I had to agree to cover the semester that was considered essential,” he wrote.
“That’s why I had to agree to cover the semester that was considered essential. Doreen Mwangi, you are the worst woman and lecturer I’ve ever encountered. As I told you, you are accountable for anything that happens to me.
He added, “I had control of it all, but you messed up my only hope. Thanks to you and screw you. If ghosts existed, you’d be the first person I’d visit.”
