After working for months, Shanny Melza Atieno escaped the abuse she has been allegedly receiving from her employer, Lavender Akinyi Ojibo by jumping from the fourth floor of Jumuira Heights in Kiambu.

Lavender Akinyi was arrested following a series of inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the fall, which has raised serious concerns about employee treatment and safety in domestic environments.

“She told Shanny that she had employed several nannies before, and some are untraceable. She said this wouldn’t be a hard case,” Atieno’s sister stated.

Atieno, the victim in this shocking incident, is currently receiving specialized care at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH).

Orthopedic surgeon Paul Mang’oli reported that Atieno arrived at the hospital in a psychologically traumatized state, suffering from multiple severe injuries, including lacerations and severed tendons in her lower limbs.

“She had extensive injuries, including damage to her mandible and lost several teeth due to the impact,” Mang’oli said.

Doctors at KNH are continuing their assessment and treatment of Atieno’s condition, with MRI scans planned to evaluate the full extent of her injuries.

“We need to conduct MRIs to understand the injury’s scope and determine whether further surgery is necessary,” Mang’oli added.

Meanwhile, investigators collected several pieces of evidence from the scene, including a knife and a cooking stick, and believe that the suspect used them in the alleged assault.

The investigators have examined CCTV footage from the building, which has provided crucial evidence for the ongoing investigation.

According to the suspect, the incident occurred after a domestic dispute led Atieno to allegedly jump from the building.

However, this claim is under scrutiny as detectives continue to piece together the events leading up to the fall.

As Shanny Atieno continues to receive care at KNH, detectives are awaiting results from DNA samples taken from evidence recovered at the scene, including a spoon and knife.
