Lang'ata police have detained a General Service Unit (GSU) officer on suspicion of being connected to a 28-year-old woman's purported suicide incident.

Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) arrested Victor Otieno Ouma, a police constable assigned to the GSU's Ruaraka headquarters, on Thursday after it was revealed through a forensic examination of the victim's phone that he might have been present when Nelvin Museti passed away.

Nelvin allegedly leaped from the third story of an apartment building in Lang'ata on Thursday of last week, according to a police report detailing the incident.


"It was reported by the caretaker of Ascort apartments in Lang'ata near Cleanshelf that there was a lady who had jumped from the third floor of the said apartments. The scene was visited by police and the body of one Nelvin Museti, a female adult aged 28 years, was found at the back of the said apartments," the police report seen by Citizen Digital reads in part.
