<strong>Two suspects are in custody after chilling surveillance footage captured the events leading to Festus Oromo's fatal 14-storey plunge, igniting questions of a love triangle gone wrong.</strong>

A weekend stay at a Kilimani Airbnb ended in tragedy, leaving a 25-year-old man dead and a city demanding answers after a mysterious fall from a 14th-floor apartment.
The death of Festus Lee Oromo on the evening of Sunday, November 30, has put a sharp focus on the dark side of city life and online dating. Investigators are now piecing together his final moments using CCTV footage, which captured a heated scuffle just before his fatal fall.
Two individuals, Lilian Moraa Mbeki, 48, and Patrick Jagongo, have been arrested in connection with the death. A Kibera court has granted detectives 14 days to hold the suspects as the investigation continues.
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have established a timeline of events from footage at Heartland Apartments on Kindaruma Road.
A postmortem examination revealed that Oromo died from extensive trauma, including multiple injuries to his head, chest, and abdomen, consistent with a high-impact fall. The room was found in disarray, suggesting a violent confrontation took place before the fall.
Preliminary reports suggest Oromo and Mbeki, a dual citizen of Kenya and Costa Rica, met on the dating app Tinder earlier this year. Mbeki reportedly told investigators that the trio had been drinking together before she went to sleep, leaving Oromo and Jagongo in the living room. When police arrived, she was found asleep and allegedly intoxicated in one of the bedrooms. Jagongo was arrested later in Kahawa West.
While details remain scarce, the central question for every Nairobi resident is how a social engagement can turn deadly so quickly. This incident raises urgent concerns about personal safety in short-term rentals and the potential dangers of relationships initiated online.
As detectives analyze toxicology reports and scrutinize the silent footage, a family mourns a young life cut short. The city waits to learn whether Festus Oromo's death was a tragic accident or something far more sinister.
