| Sharon Bukokhe |
According to source, a 28-year-old Kenyan businesswoman has killed herself because she
struggled to cope with living alone in Britain with her family dispersed
across the world.
Sharon Bukokhe, of Levenshulme, Manchester, was a high achiever
working for a family planning charity but felt lonely because relatives
including her husband lived abroad. Her husband
lived in
South Africa so he could complete a Master’s Degree whilst her
mother lived in Richmond, Virginia, in the US, and her sister lived in
Canada. Her only relative in Britain was her brother who lived
250 miles away in Gillingham, Kent and as a result of her feelings of
loneliness she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Mrs Bukokhe, who was originally from Kenya, used her laptop to research ways to commit suicide, applied full make up and painted her nails then suffocated herself at her flat in April.
A diary found after her death said:
Quote
‘I think that any life is as valid as the next, such that an ending of 25 is as good as 88. I have no real regrets or fears any more, I just feel decisive and justified.’
Mrs Bukokhe, who appeared to friends to be ‘the happiest person in the
world’, settled in the UK in 2002 and graduated in design and
engineering at Nottingham Trent University, the inquest heard.
