CCTV footage on Sunday, March 3 revealed the last moments that preceded the death of a 19-year-old woman who was allegedly tossed from the 10th floor of an apartment in Kasarani, Nairobi County.
The footage recorded Saturday, March 2 at 3.11 am showed the girl and her partner checking into the apartment after they met at an entertainment joint where they were merry-making before the girl was found dead wearing a t-shirt only.
In the clip, the woman was spotted holding hands with her partner as they disembarked from the lift on the 10th floor.
The man swiftly turned in the other direction upon realizing that he was leading the girl the wrong way.
He approached the short-stay apartment and reached out for the house keys before returning to open, all while the girl stood outside the door. The girl then enters the house first, followed by the man.
This would be the last time the girl was seen alive as hours later her lifeless body was found outside the apartment, with just a t-shirt.
Meanwhile, the male companion was found unconscious with 10 stab wounds as the deceased was believed to have been pushed to her death. He was rushed to hospital for treatment.
Detectives had secured the interior of the house which was splattered with blood on the walls and the floor of the living room and bathroom as well as blood-stained beddings, an indication of either a struggle between two people or a man fighting for his life.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the girl could have jumped from the 10th floor in a case of attempted suicide or pushed from the balcony of the house in a case of attempted murder.
Meanwhile, detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) probing the death of the young woman are pursuing three people who were in contact with the girl and her partner to assist with ongoing investigations
