Authorities have opened a murder investigation after a Daystar University student plummeted from an apartment's 11th story during a gathering that stretched past midnight in Nairobi's Ngara district. Lorna Kathambi, age 23, sustained fatal head trauma when she landed at ground level, and security personnel discovered her remains after hearing the impact. Officers detained seven fellow students who attended the celebration for questioning, though the circumstances surrounding her death remain unclear as investigators examine whether she fell accidentally or was pushed during a dispute.
Separately, detectives are probing three apparent suicides by young women across the capital. Gloria Kwamboka Angwenyi, 25, was recovered from her locked bathroom with a bedsheet fastened around her throat and a note nearby. Another victim, Kenyatta University scholar Latifa Wangari, 22, was located in an advanced state of decomposition after neighbors reported concerning odors emanating from her residence.
