Nairobi – Residents of View Park Towers off Uhuru Highway have been left in shock after a 45-year-old woman died following a fall from the building.

According to a police report, Charity Muthoni had visited a male friend, Benjamin Kibet, who does printing works on the ground floor of the 19-storey building.

According to a Citizen Digital report, the two reportedly spent time talking over tea until afternoon hours when Muthoni excused herself, mentioning an important matter she needed to attend to.
