Early this month, police in Kasarani questioned a woman whose lover died inside her house.
Mr Joshua Mwanzia Mutuku had paid his girlfriend Jane Nyangige Wamuiwa a visit when the unfortunate incident happened.
Nairobi News reported that Mr Mutuku had gone to the toilet leaving his lover lying on a mattress placed on the floor.
However, she heard the man fall down with a thud and since she was tired all she did was ask him to join her on the mattress. Mr Mutuku followed as he had been told and joined Ms Wamuiwa on the mattress never to wake up.
