A 28-year-old woman identified as Nelvin Museti, has died after reportedly jumping off the third floor of an apartment in Lang’ata area, Nairobi County, Kenya.
According to the media, the caretaker of Ascort Apartments, Mr. Mwangi, alerted the police after witnessing the horrifying event which occurred on Sunday morning, January 14, 2024.
According to the initial police report, Mr Mwangi reported the incident, stating, “there was a lady who had jumped from the third floor of the apartment.”
Upon receiving the distress call, law enforcement officers promptly arrived at the scene, discovering the lifeless body of Ms Museti at the back of the apartment building.
Preliminary reports indicate that she had no visible physical injuries, but blood was reportedly oozing from her nose.
Eyewitnesses, including neighbours, informed the police and Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives that they heard a loud thud, prompting them to investigate, only to find the tragic aftermath.
“The scene was processed by crime scene personnel, and the body, which had no physical injury but blood oozing from the nose, has been moved to the City Mortuary awaiting post-mortem,” the police report stated.
As investigations into the circumstances surrounding Ms Museti’s death unfold, DCI sleuths are working to determine whether foul play was involved, raising the possibility that she may have been killed before the fatal fall.
Upon hearing the heartbreaking news, friends and family gathered on social media to pay tribute to Ms Museti.
On Facebook, a user named Epale penned a heartfelt message, saying, “Dear Nelvin Museti, it is sad that I had to write REST IN PEACE (RIP) in the new year. You were a very close friend to me, and our friendship has never failed. Learning about your death breaks me completely. I will forever miss you. Rest with the Angels, lovely girl.”
Another tribute came from Gift Vukani Masudi, expressing deep sorrow over the sudden departure.
‘I’m deeply saddened by your going without saying goodbye. It’s painful to think about what was going through your mind and that you may have felt alone. If only you could have reached out, we could have offered support and understanding. My condolences to your family during this difficult time. R.I.P Nelvin Museti.”
