Police in Limuru are investigating the death of a woman who reportedly took her own life at her home under unclear circumstances.
Reports show the woman returned home late in the evening appearing intoxicated. She asked her 12-year-old daughter for a pen and paper and wrote down the mobile numbers of her husband and sister.

Moments later, her daughter found her and desperately tried to save her by cutting the rope with a kitchen knife. Sadly, her efforts came too late.
Police moved the body to the local mortuary as investigations into the motive behind the suicide continue.
