It has now emerged that Nairobi men are afraid of taking their side chics to Kasarani fearing that they are going to to die.
Several men who spoke to Nairobi Journal expressed their fears that the estate could be jinxed based on the past cases of lovers and other people plunging to death in the neighbourhood.
On December 15, a banker Michael Onyancha died under unclear circumstances.
On the fateful night, it is said that Onyancha was seen in a club around Thika road in company of a woman before they proceeded to her house located on the third floor of an apartment in Kasarani.
Neighbours and witnesses said they spotted the Onyancha struggling to climb the stairs at around 11pm as the lady assisted her before they entered in the house.
It is said moments later, some noise emanated from the house before a loud bang was heard on the ground floor.
Occupants of the apartment who came out noticed limbs of the deceased and alerted the caretaker of the plot who raised the alarm.
The unconscious Onyancha was rushed to St Francis Hospital but upon arrival at the facility, he was pronounced dead.
While the banker’s death remains unclear, incidences of people plunging to death in Kasarani have raised eyebrows with the latest incident being the sixth within a year.
The incident has elicited debate with some city residents claiming Kasarani could be jinxed. Security analysts feels there must be a reason why such cases are happening there.
One of the experts argues that it could be because of the lifestyle in the neighbourhood that is contributing to a lot of partying.
“When people engage in drinking during such parties, they lose sense of judgement. Another reason could either be that proper investigations are never conducted when such incidences happen,” he explained.
Sometimes in May this year Kasarani residents were shocked when interior designer Jeff Mwathi fell from the 10th floor in the neighbourhood. It emerged that the deceased had visited the house of a DJ in a meeting that turned out to be a party.
In another case on February 21, the life of Brenda Kawira came to a tragic end after allegedly jumping from a fourth-floor building in Kasarani.
It was after her demise that her boyfriend confessed that they had quarreled on their way to the bedroom. It is reported that an unhappy Kawira walked to the balcony and jumped to her death leaving the family in shock.
Still in Kasarani Blair Muthoni died under unclear circumstances after she fell from the fifth floor of an apartment. Her two roommates were arrested for grilling where it emerged there was a fight in the house prior to Muthoni’s death.
In late 2022, a woman nicknamed King Alami fell from the seventh floor of a building along Lumumba Drive.
In a similar incident Cynthia Mboya, 26, fell to the ground floor after a scuffle with her boyfriend and another man.
Mbova told police she had shown up at the apartment to visit her boyfriend who was then with a male friend.
