'Depressed' new mother escapes marina, commits suicide

*Deceased woman's sister sees her hanging from tree
*Investigations afoot

A Thamaga family is mourning the death of their daughter following an apparent suicide, which they believe could have been prevented, had staff at the Princess Marina Hospital not been negligent. Thirty-three year-old Keabonye Mojuta a patient suspected of having post-partum depression was found hanging at the Gaborone Secondary School (GSS) grounds - a stone's throw from the hospital. A passer-by saw the body just before 0900 hours on the second of January. Worse, her sister, Keafiwa saw her corpse hanging from the suicide tree, as curious passersby converged at the scene. She had shortly before then heard people in the combi she was traveling in talking about some woman who had hanged herself by the GSS grounds. Keabonye's family have blamed the death of their daughter on the hospital staff who they say failed to take necessary preventive steps, while they were aware that the deceased was suicidal.
