A young man mysteriously jumped off from a 5th floor of an apartment in Riruta, Nairobi leading to his untimely death.

As the dramatic events unfolded, witnesses revealed that the victim, engaged in delivering a carpet to the foreigners, found himself entangled in a dispute that took a sinister turn.
