A new detail has emerged about where Michael Kimani, 17, was coming from, before he died in Juja after falling from the ninth floor of an Airbnb apartment located in Gwa Kairu, Kiambu County on the night of Wednesday, November 4, 2026.
According to the source, Michael Kimani breathed his last just three days after he lost his mother, Lucy Wanjira, who sadly passed away on Sunday, November 1st. Before her final breath, Lucy Wanjira battled a long illness.

After the fellowship, Kimani later travelled to Gwa Kairu area in an Uber Taxi, accompanied by a lady identified as Stacy who had allegedly requested him to take her to attend a house party event in Astrol apartment .
The pair were picked up by a man who took them to Police Constable PC Mathayo Matonya's house, where the party was to be held. Matonya was holding the party following his return to Kenya from Kazakhstan.
While the party was ongoing Kimani and Matonya allegedly started arguing before a fight ensued between them.
Shortly after, Kimani was captured by CCTV cameras running out of Matonya's house and went down to the parking area to hide. At that time, Kimani looked scared and had donned only boxers.
Moments later, Kimani was convinced by other friends who had followed him after he rushed out of the house to go back upstairs so they could talk and solve the issue peacefully.
Kimani accepted and went back to the ninth floor not knowing what was about to strike. Shortly after, people near the petrol station where he had been picked with Stacy heard a loud bang after Kimani fell from the 9th floor. Unfortunately Kimani did not survive.
As of now, Matonya and another suspect are currently in custody after they were accused of allegedly pushing Kimani from the balcony.
