A family is in mourning following the untimely death of their daughter who fell from the seventh floor of an apartment in Kiambu.
23 year old Catherine Njeri had visited her friends who lived on the seventh floor in an apartment in Gacharage Kiambu county.
According to a picture shared by a local media house, the young lady sprawled on the floor after the tragic incident. Reports indicate that the grisly event happened on Sunday night.
Tenants of the building said they only heard a loud sound of a falling object.
“We rushed out to see what was happening and we were shocked to see it was a lady’s body."
Her remains were taken to Kihara level 4 hospital mortuary where an autopsy will be conducted.
It is still not yet clear the events that led to her fall. Also, the identities of her friends who were in the apartment together with her have not yet been revealed.
Police in Kiambaa sub-county, Kiambu, have arrested 5 people who were with her, to determine if the fall was an accident or foul play.
Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, Kiambaa deputy county commissioner Peter Maina said investigations of what happened before Njeri died have started.
