Police in Nairobi say they are still investigating the mysterious death of a woman at a building she was working in Kilimani.

A day after Zaituni Kavaya’s family received the results of a postmortem indicating she died from blunt force trauma, a video footage obtained by Citizen Digital paints a clearer picture of the moments leading up to the incident.

Kavaya is said to have died after falling from the building, prompting her relatives and the domestic workers' union to stage a protest on Wednesday, demanding justice.

However, exclusive video footage has emerged showing what transpired before her death. In the video, a man wearing a white shirt is seen on the upper fifth floor holding the woman briefly before letting her go.

She manages to descend to the lower floor after successfully navigating from the fifth floor. Here, three women appear to speak to her, but she continues down to the third floor.

At that point, she is seen conversing with unidentified individuals for a while before the situation appears to deteriorate.

On the third-floor section of the building, the woman seems unable to find a place to hold on to, as the area is enclosed with glass panels.

Exclusive images show the woman dressed in a blue outfit with red and black blotches.

On Wednesday, Kavaya's family and domestic workers’ unions marched in the afternoon from Kibera, where she lived, to Kilimani, the site of her death, later meeting with the Kilimani police commander to demand answers.

“We have this case, and we are still investigating. Zaituni will get her justice,” said the Police Commander Patricia Yegon.

All eyes are now on investigators to determine what truly happened before Zaituni Kavaya’s death.
