Kimani's death came just three days after his mother, Lucy Wanjira, passed away following a prolonged illness on Sunday, November 1. The family was still preparing to lay her to rest when another tragedy struck, leaving relatives devastated by the sudden loss.
According to details shared by family members, the teenager had spent part of Wednesday attending a fellowship meeting organised to coordinate preparations for his mother's burial. Relatives and close friends had gathered to discuss funeral arrangements and offer support to the bereaved family.
After the meeting, Kimani reportedly travelled to Gwa Kairu in an Uber taxi alongside a woman identified as Stacy, who had allegedly asked him to accompany her to a house party at Astrol apartment.
The pair were subsequently taken to a residence linked to Police Constable Mathayo Matonya, who was hosting the gathering following his return to Kenya from Kazakhstan.
However, what began as a social gathering reportedly took an unexpected turn after Kimani and Matonya became involved in a disagreement that allegedly escalated into a physical confrontation.
CCTV footage reportedly captured the teenager rushing out of the house and heading towards the parking area, where he appeared frightened and was wearing only his underwear.
People who followed him later persuaded him to return upstairs, reportedly hoping the disagreement could be resolved through a conversation.
Tragically, shortly after returning to the ninth floor, Kimani fell from the apartment's balcony. Witnesses nearby reportedly heard a loud bang, but the teenager did not survive.
Matonya and another suspect have since been taken into custody as police investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident, including allegations that Kimani was pushed from the balcony. The allegations remain subject to investigation.
