Nairobi - The family of Michael Onyancha is seeking to settle the puzzle surrounding the death of their kin.

The 33-year-old banker was found dead on Saturday, December 16, moments after spending time at his girlfriend's place in Kasarani.

It had been initially reported that the man jumped to his death, but his family holding their kin was murdered.

"Deadly jump"

At the centre of the main suspect is the fiancee, Mercy Waithera.

CCTV footage showed the moment the body landed on the ground from upstairs.

From the onset, on the fateful night, Onyancha was accompanied by Waithera into her house on the third floor of the apartment.

Moments later, a fracas would be heard from the house arousing the curiosity of their neighbours.

Apparently, Waithera had fallen out with the deceased, and she thus wanted him out of her house; what followed was the thud of his body at the basement.

"I heard some voices and I could not make out what was being said; then saw some hands and legs moving. I called the caretaker who showed up there," said a neighbour on the second floor.

The body was ferried to the St Francis Funeral Home where an autopsy was undertaken and autopsy showing he sustained serious head and spinal injuries.

23-year-old man jumps to his death in Kasarani

This came months after a 23-year-old man died in Kasarani under disturbing circumstances.

Blair Muthoni fell to his death a few days ago after allegedly falling from the top of a residential building, and it was not established whether he harmed himself or was pushed.

Speaking to the press, a foreman at the adjacent building under construction where Muthomi fell said that on the morning when he found the body, he had opened the site for the constructors to continue working, but something odd happened.

One of Muthomi's roommates followed him and looked concerned. The roommate then, minutes later, went to where Muthomi's remains were.

"The roommate came to me and tried saying something but I could not hear him. He then went to where the body was and started looking at it. I asked him, 'is that a human body?' He didn't respond to me, but he was there touching his body on his hands and stomach," the foreman, one James Macharia said.
