A 16-year-old was so heartbroken when his girlfriend refused to kiss him that he jumped into the Nile and drowned, police said Wednesday, quoted by News-Journal wire services.
Saber Ahmed Darwish was on a date with his girlfriend at a riverside club in the Nile Delta town of Benha on Tuesday when he asked her for a kiss, the officers said.
The girl, also in her mid-teens, apparently replied she would not kiss him until he proposed marriage.
Darwish threatened to jump into the river if she did not kiss him, but she did not take him seriously. Darwish then threw himself in the Nile and drowned, leaving her screaming in shock, police said. The girl was not identified – Albawaba.com
