NAIROBI - AN ARSENAL fan in football-mad Kenya hanged himself following his team's 4-1 aggregate drubbing by arch-rivals Manchester United in the Champions League semi-final, police said on Wednesday.
Suleiman Alphonso Omondi, a 29-year-old Kenyan living in the capital Nairobi's Embakasi neighbourhood, hanged himself in his Arsenal shirt late on Tuesday after the match, police said.

'We were watching the match at Bamba 70 pub, and when Arsenal was defeated, Suleiman just walked out in protest and he was crying,' Calvin Otieno, one of his friends, told AFP.

'We didn't know he was going to hang himself until this morning when we received the reports and came here to find his body at the balcony,' Mr Otieno said outside the deceased's home.

Arsenal slumped to a 3-1 defeat at home in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, capping a disappointing season for the Gunners who were already out of the Premier League title race early in the season.

Football-related domestic tragedies are frequent in the region, where English clubs enjoy passionate following and European games draw more attention than national and continental games. -- AFP

Arsenal is a football club leh, not an idol.

He is what we would call a "die" hard fan (pun not intended).

anyone who commits suicide for a football match deserves to have his genes removed from the human race

If this is a common practice, then Liverpool fans would have gone extinct around 10 years ago

maybe he placed a bet that he couldn't afford losing? instead of waiting for the debtors to skin him alive, so to siam the family embarassment, he decide to self service.
