A weekend altercation between a 25-year-old man and his girlfriend turned deadly when the man fell from the 14th floor of an apartment along Kindaruma Road, Kilimani, Nairobi.
The deceased, Lee Owino, was found on the rooftop of a parked car in the apartment parking lot with severe injuries to both legs. Neighbors and security guards heard a loud thud and discovered his body moments after the fall.
Police investigations revealed that Owino and his 48-year-old girlfriend had checked into the apartment on November 28, 2025, for the weekend. During the stay, a male friend joined them for a drinking session that lasted until the early hours of Sunday. The friend reportedly left the apartment before the fatal incident occurred.
According to preliminary police reports, a disagreement escalated into a physical altercation between Owino and the woman, during which Owino allegedly assaulted her. The woman is believed to have pushed Owino off the balcony during the scuffle.
Authorities recovered assorted drugs and used alcohol bottles from the apartment. The woman is expected to appear in court while police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding Owino’s death, including locating the male friend who was present earlier.
The body has been moved to the mortuary pending an autopsy and further procedures. Kilimani Police boss Patricia Yegon confirmed that the case is being investigated as murder.
