Kenyan Woman, Lorraine Kerubo Ogoti, 30, Found Dead in Apparent Murder-Suicide in Toronto, Canada
A Kenyan woman was found dead in her Toronto, Canada apartment on Tuesday afternoon in what police describe as a possible murder-suicide.
After receiving a 911 call to her apartment building on Tuesday around 2:15pm , police and paramedics found 30-year-old Lorraine Kerubo Ogoti suffering life-threatening stab wounds inside her 8th floor apartment, located at Birchmount Rd and St Clair Ave. She died at the scene a short while later.
The body of a 40-year-old man, identified as Mowlid Hassan and who police say stabbed Lorraine, was found on the ground outside the apartment building. An autopsy revealed he died of blunt-force trauma. It was later revealed that he died after jumping off the balcony of Lorraine’s 8th floor apartment.
Police say they are still investigating the incidents, and do not believe anyone else was involved.
Lorraine moved to Canada from Kenya and lived with friends, her family says.

Ningependa kuwaonya wanaume wenzangu ya kwamba, wakati umefika sasa wakati inatubidi tutambue na kukubali wakati mwanamke anapokuambia uondoke katika maisha yake; yaani, hakupendi tena?
Mimi ninapinga sana mila za kutoa mahari "dowry" kwa sababu zinawafanya wanaume wengine kufikiria ya kwamba mwanamume yuko juu ya mwanamke na kuwa mwanamke ni "mtumishi" wake. Kumfanyia mwanamke hivyo ni kuendelea na mawazo mabovu ya ubaguzi wa jinsia (sex discrimination) na ni makosa makubwa sana kuwafanyia wanawake dhuluma kama hii.
RIP Lorraine. Unfortunate indeed for such a young soul to be lost.
@ Sukuma,its horrible the way she died.Even if she were 99 years old.Death does not discriminate by age.Its the senseless killing by another human being that I bore whether one month,or 1200months.
RIP.
The difference between the death of a "young soul" and a "99 year old" is like Between a rock and a Hard place. So the both of you Maxiley and Sukuma are Perspectively right.👍
Sad indeed
I knew both of them and use to party with them, it was not her apartment but a friends. They were over a lot to party and he use to beat her. We stopped him a few times but its just sad. I Live in the next building and was so shocked when i found out. I didnt believe it till i stepped out and saw the police and his body covered in a tarp. She was a kind woman, very very sad. Would never have predicated such a horrible fate for a kind person. My condolences to her family and loved ones. If you need any information you can reach me at my email address boobyhill571@gmail.com.
Thanks Booby. My question is, if you claim you were aware of her beatings or any form of abuse, did you report to the authorities ?
Really doesn't make a difference if he knew or not. It had to take the late's filing a complaint for anything to happen. The fact is, it is very sad that in this day and age some weak ass MF boys masquerading as men still lay a finger on women. Pathetic!
Thank you Booby. May she rest in peace. So sad!!
Very unfortunate.
rip Lorraine...so sad beautiful
Very sad indeed
Surely!... May she rest in peace and my condolences to the family of the young girl who had traveled all the way to lock for green pastures.
So sad
