She left a suicide note for the world. I can only imagine what was going through her mind in those final moments. She was only 23.

It’s so sad that she could not survive the rape. May her soul rest in peace. May rape victims everywhere heal in Jesus name.

What is with South African men and rape? Also indians. This is heart wrenching. RIP
