| MANILA, Philippines—A 19-year-old student killed himself inside a mall in Fairview, Quezon City, on Sunday afternoon following an argument with his girlfriend.Case investigator PO1 Hermogenes Capili of the Quezon City Police District’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit identified the victim as Richard Fernando, a student of Fatima University. Fernando, a resident of Lagro Subdivision in Barangay Greater Lagro, sustained serious head injuries when he jumped from the second floor of the mall at around 3:10 p.m. Witnesses told the police that the teenager had climbed over the railings near the cinema and food court area before he jumped. Capili said Fernando was rushed to Far Eastern University Hospital but he died of his injuries nearly two hours later. The victim’s father told the police that his son may have killed himself over relationship problems. The police noted that a check of the victim’s cell phone showed that Fernando had been fighting with his girlfriend before he took his life. |
If this person did jump to his death, this would be the second or third time a person has decided to commit suicide in this particular mall.
