19 year old Nigerian, May Brown is in a coma following a medication over dose to take her life just days before she was to be sent back to Nigeria.The 19-year-old college student, fled to Britain from Nigeria three years ago after witnessing her father's murder and being subjected to sexual abuse.
She settled in Weymouth, Dorset, where she met her husband, Michael Brown, 12 months ago and the couple married last December. UK Border Agency officials believe their marriage to be a 'sham' with no
'emotional attachment'.
Her mother-in-law, Helen-Claire Brown, found her collapsed on the bathroom floor on Monday morning with a note to her husband saying she 'couldn't live without him'.
The teenager was rushed to the Dorset County Hospital in Dorchester where she remains in a coma in intensive care.
May wrote:
'I am deeply sorry that I had to go this way, without even saying goodbye.
'The UK immigration has finally driven me insane. They've pushed me too far this time and I can't take the pain any more.
'I don't want a life or a future you won't be part of. I love you so much, more than life itself and can't endure the agony of not being with you.
'Please forgive me for ending it this way. It's better to die with my dignity than be subjected to torture and undignified death back in Nigeria.'
Before she took the overdose, May had said she feared her abusers would kill her if she returned to Nigeria because she witnessed her father's death.
She said: 'If they send me back to
Nigeria they are signing my death warrant, they will cut my life short
because I will be killed.
'I have found peace with Michael, he gave me a reason to live. I have got a family here and we don't claim any benefits.'Michael works and I am studying to become a barrister, we have not harmed anybody.'
Mr Brown, a former soldier who now works for a removals company, insisted the couple's marriage was genuine and slammed the UK Border Agency for its treatment of his wife.
Hope she gets out of coma soon, it's quite sad.
There are two sides to every story & a third side which is the truth. Hope she dsnt die or she'll find out there's smwhere nigeria is far more better than. Not judging,just saying!
ReplyDeleteHope she wakes up. They should be given a chance. Most marriages these days are a scam anyway. These days people marry for different reasons and its far from luv.
ReplyDeleteI agree @helen. People marry for diff types of security it could job,finance,offsprings,male child,beauty,power etc. If hers is bristich citizenship so what,afterall they colonised us so its our right.
