A Tragic End Following Academic Milestone

The death of Consolata Githinji, a student at Murang’a University and a rising social media influencer, has sent shockwaves through the Kenyan online community. Emerging details indicate that Githinji had just achieved a major life milestone, completing her final fourth-year examinations roughly a week before her fatal fall on Saturday, April 25. The young woman was reportedly awaiting graduation when the incident occurred at a short-stay apartment complex in the Kileleshwa neighborhood of Nairobi.

CCTV Footage and Final Moments

Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) are currently analyzing CCTV footage to reconstruct Githinji's final hours. The video evidence shows Githinji arriving at the apartment building at approximately 4:46 am accompanied by a man identified as Tony Odhiambo. The footage captures the duo being let in by a security guard and shows Githinji appearing in high spirits in an elevator photo shared to her WhatsApp status shortly after midnight. However, the timeline turned tragic just hours later when she fell from the sixth floor.

Ongoing Investigation and Suspect Questioning

Tony Odhiambo, the individual who was with Githinji on the night of her death, has been taken in by the DCI for questioning. Investigators are looking into the nature of their encounter and the events that unfolded inside the apartment. While the fall is the immediate cause of death, authorities are investigating whether there was any foul play or distress prior to the plunge. Some netizens and friends have raised questions regarding the security guard's interactions with the pair, as footage reportedly showed the guard checking in on the apartment multiple times.
