A family is in mourning following the death of their daughter who jumped off her third-floor apartment balcony in Lang'ata.

The police report indicated that the incident occurred at around 5:50am.

The caretaker of the apartment block first reported the incident to the police.

According to the report, the deceased was aged 28 years old and was living in the apartment alone.

"Scene visited by the Deputy OCS, Duty Officer and DCI Lang'ata and the body of (the deceased), a Luhya female adult aged 28 years was found lying dead at the back of the said apartments about 1.5 kilometers north of the station," read the police report in part.

"The scene has been 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."

During the wee hours incident, neighbours were alerted by a loud thud and surrounded the scene before the arrival of the police.

Police officers have launched investigations into the incident.

The incident was the second of its kind on Sunday following the horrific dismemberment of a woman's body in Roysambu. A police report indicated that the head of the deceased was still missing.
