Detectives are following up on two men that were caught on CCTV with TikTok influencer Fathy Abdirahaman (Tushta), who died after falling from the 7 th floor of Tsavo Sunset 2 Apartments in Thindigua, Kiambu County. The 23-year-old was found dead on Monday, November 9 after falling from the residential building on Kiambu Road. Detectives have looked through the security footage.
Initial reports from The Standard and The Star say that Abdirahaman was with two men with unknown identities on the rooftop of the building. The three then went to the corridor on the 13 th floor.
One of the men went into the apartment whilst Abdirahaman stood outside on her mobile phone. She then briefly went into the apartment before returning by herself. She continued to go down the stairs whilst still on her phone and fell from the 7th floor onto an empty piece of land. Detectives are trying to find out who the two men are and get statements from them.
Kiambu Sub-County Police Commander Elema Sola said that officers are investigating after the incident.
“We can confirm the tragic death of a woman of Somali origin at Tsavo Sunset 2 Apartments. Our officers responded to the scene immediately, and investigations are actively underway to establish the exact circumstances surrounding the fall,” Sola said, according to reports by The Standard.
Initial reports from the security manager of the apartment, Anna Nyaga, said that officers found Abdirahaman’s body on a wooden door in an empty piece of land. The security manager, guards and pharmacist tried to help her but paramedics later declared her dead.
The Scenes of Crime team from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have also been deployed. Abdirahaman’s mobile phone has been recovered. Detectives are looking through the CCTV footage whilst Abdirahaman’s family try to find out what happened in her final moments. Her cousin Khadija Osman told reporters that she went to Kiambu on Monday to sort out her passport.
Osman added that they spoke at 2:30pm and Abdirahaman said she had arrived safely.
“She called me at around 2.30pm to confirm that she had arrived safely in Kiambu for her passport appointment. Everything seemed completely normal,” Osman told The Standard.
However, she then received a call from an unknown man around 30 minutes later telling her that her cousin had fallen from a building and died.
“Barely thirty minutes later, I received a brief call from an unidentified man informing me that my cousin had fallen from a building and died. We are devastated and demand to know what truly happened in those final minutes,” she said.
Osman added that she was concerned about why the man had not given any more information. She added that the family are waiting on the post-mortem results before making any decisions on how she will be buried.
Abdirahaman’s body was moved to St Theresa Hospital mortuary to carry out a post-mortem. However, police have not made any public statements on what caused her to fall by Wednesday, November 11.
Initial police reports have said that it is a suspected suicide but detectives will look through the CCTV footage, witness statements, forensics and post-mortem results to find out what happened. The two men have not been named publicly and no arrests have been made.
Her death has gained attention from her followers and online community and they are calling for a full investigation. Her family are concerned to find out how the 23-year-old passed away after having what her cousin described as a normal day. An investigation is currently taking place and no conclusions can be made until evidence has been looked at.
