Police Begin Investigations After The Death Of A 4th Year Student

Detectives are investigating a tragic incident where a fourth-year student at Daystar University died after falling from the eleventh floor of a residential building in Ngara area, Nairobi.

 

Police said Lorna Kathambi, 23, fell to the ground floor where her badly injured body was found on Sunday, November 23, 2025, morning.

 

Her seven colleagues who were in the house at the time of the incident were arrested for investigation.

 

According to the police, a group of students had been to the apartment for a party that ran up to past midnight Saturday.

 

Some of them later left the apartment past midnight and came back, police said.

 

Neighbours had complained they were making noise.

 

Guards on duty at the apartment said they heard a bang, and on checking, they found the woman’s body lying on the ground floor and bleeding.

 

The girl had head injuries. Police said they are investigating murder in the saga.

It is not clear what transpired to lead to the incident. It is suspected she fell off accidentally or was pushed in an argument.

 

The body was moved to the mortuary pending an autopsy.

 

Elsewhere in Githurai area, Nairobi, 25-year-old Gloria Kwamboka Angwenyi, who had been missing for two days, was found dead in her bathroom.

 

She had apparently died by suicide, police said, adding a blue bedsheet was tied around her neck and she was seated in the bathroom of her bedsitter, unresponsive.

 

Police said a suicide note was found in the house when the body was discovered on November 22, 2025.

 

The house had been locked from inside, which forced police and the neighbours to break in to access the scene.

 

The body was moved to the mortuary pending autopsy.

 

This came as detectives said they are investigating an incident where a 22-year-old female university student died by suicide in her house in Githurai, Nairobi.

 

Police said the body of Latifa Wangari was found in a decomposed state in her house long after the incident had happened.

 

She was a third-year student at Kenyatta University, police said. The motive of the November 21 discovery was not immediately established.

 

Neighbours said they had not seen her since November 11, and they were being disturbed by a foul smell from her house.

 

The neighbours called the police, who arrived at the scene and broke the metal window to access the scene.

 

The police said they found the woman’s body hanging on a window grill with a scarf that had been tied around her neck.

 

A suicide note believed to have been authored by the deceased was found in the house, police said.

 

Police said they are investigating its authenticity.

 

The body was moved to the mortuary pending an autopsy and other procedures.

 

Suicide cases have been on the rise amid efforts to address the trend.

 

Most of the victims are men, statistics show.
