Seven university students detained over the murder of a female Daystar University student in Ngara A 23-year-old Daystar University student, Lorna Kathambi Karani, died after falling (or being pushed) from the 11th/12th floor of an apartment building in Ngara, Nairobi, following a late-night party. Seven university students who were with her in the apartment have been detained by the DCI and are being investigated for possible involvement. Neighbors and security guards reported loud noise before hearing a “big bang.” Investigators recovered her belongings from the flat (clothes, phone, ID), and are treating the incident as suspicious, not yet ruling out foul play. A seven-day detention order has been granted to complete forensic and witness investigations.
