Police are investigating an incident where a fight between a man and his girlfriend ended tragically when the man died after falling from the 14th floor of an apartment along Kindaruma Road, Kilimani Nairobi.
The body of the deceased was found sprawled on the rooftop of a parked salon car moments after his fall from the balcony of the apartment.
Guards and neighbours at the apartment heard a thud, and on checking, they found the body on the roof of the car at the parking lot with visible injuries on both legs which had broken.
Police investigations showed the man and his girlfriend, aged 48, had checked into the room on November 28, 2025, for the weekend.
On Saturday, they were joined by another male friend for a drinking spree in the house, which ran up to Sunday dawn.
The woman told police the friend left the apartment later on. Moments later, the man and woman differed, leading to an argument and deceased assaulting the woman.
This led to a physical fight for a few minutes as the woman asked the man to leave her room.
It was then that the woman is alleged to have pushed him off the balcony.
He fell off onto the rooftop of a parked car, dying instantly.
The woman slept oblivious of the incident until when she was awoken by the police and the neighbours.
Police claimed assorted drugs and used bottles of alcohol were recovered in the room.
The woman was arrested. The body was moved to the mortuary pending an autopsy and other procedures.
The woman was expected in court on Monday as police planned to seek more time to hold her pending investigations into the incident, police said.
Police said they are investigating murder in the incident and were looking for the friend who left the room before the tragic fall happened.
Such incidents have been common in apartments during group parties.
Last weekend, a female university student died after falling from the 12th floor of an apartment during a party.
Police arrested seven students in the probe. The case is pending in court.
