A young Manchester United fan committed suicide after learning that his favourite team had lost to Newcastle United.
United slumped to their second home Premier League defeat in the space of four days on Saturday as Yohan Cabaye's goal gave Newcastle a first league victory at Old Trafford since 1972.

The young man named John Jimmy Macharia felt terribly disappointed with the outcome. Soon after the game he jumped from the 7th floor of the building of his house. Reportedly John died instantly.

Nairobi county police claim that all the facts indicate that it was suicide, noting that this case is not the first one caused by the football in England.

Unfortunately, it is also not the first instance of Premier League fans in Eastern Africa taking things too far.

Last month, a man in Uganda lost his house after making a hugely risky bet on his beloved Arsenal beating United and lost.
