She remembered her daughter's despair over the attacks. “She came here crying, ‘Mom, ask her to stop because I can’t stand it. Do something, Mom.' What could I do? I just recorded a video asking them for God's sake to stop.” They had stopped, my daughter could be here today.
The mother claims her daughter didn't have social media to protect her own mental health. “They went to my Instagram and took screenshots of their photos on my Instagram. They lied that she was having an affair with the boy when she didn’t even have a social network.”
Civilian police will investigate the circumstances surrounding the death. “The civil police will investigate whether there was any inducement, instigation or assistance in this suicide,” a police representative told the program.
