GEORGE TOWN: The Form Three student who fell to her death from her apartment block in Lebuh Sungai Pinang 1 this morning had left three suicide notes.
Cheah Xin Hui, 15, was found face down near the swimming pool by a cleaner at about 8.45am. She was clad in her pyjamas without any shoes. It is learnt that she had fallen from the 11th floor, where she was staying.
Northeast district police chief Assistant Commissioner Che Zaimani Che Awang said domestic quarrel in the family had cost the girl her life.
He said the girl also left behind three letters for her family and friends, apologising for her action.
“In her notes, the deceased had asked her family and friends not to look for her anymore. She also said that she was disappointed in her family and the world.
“We believe family problem led to the girl’s death,” he said.
Che Zaimani said a post-mortem found that the deceased died due to serious head and chest injuries from the fall.
“There were no criminal elements on the remains as well as at her house. The case has been classified as suicide,” he added.
In the note for her mother, written in Chinese characters, Cheah apologised to her for causing her much grief and anguish.
She also said that what happened was her fault and there was no need for her mother to feel guilty.
“After I leave (this world), you can discuss with him to get a divorce. I cannot bear to see you cry because of him anymore,” she had said, referring to her stepfather.
In another letter, Cheah said by the time the letter was found, she would have left the world. She went on to say that she had not achieved many things in life and apologised for her action.
“I choose to end my life as I see this as the only way out and freedom from any problems.”
She continued on to say that she had no regret choosing this path. “This is because I am disappointed with this family and this world. Goodbye all," she said in the letter.
