Mystery surrounds the death of a Chief Executive Officer of an insurance brokerage company.
The CEO died after allegedly falling or jumping from the seventh floor of his office located in one of the buildings on Ngong Avenue in Nairobi.
Police said they are investigating the incident
and are focusing on both suicide and murder.
They want to know if he died by suicide or was pushed off.
The incident happened on Tuesday afternoon, police said.
Nairobi police commander George Seda said whereas the company offices are on the 14th floor, witnesses claimed he took a lift to the seventh floor where he leaped to the ground floor in an apparent suicide.
He was alone then and he died on the spot. The motive of the
incident is yet to be known.
Other officials claimed the CEO had been approached by the police
over a probe they had opened. This followed a claim by a government agency.
Police arrived at the scene and processed it before moving the body to the mortuary pending autopsy.
Staff at the office were shocked to learn about the incident.
In Gilgil, Nakuru, a man identified as one John Waigwa, 20, allegedly died by suicide by hanging himself with a nylon rope tied around his neck on a tree.
Police said no suicide note was recovered at the scene and the motive of the incident is yet to be known.
The body was removed to the Gilgil Sub County morgue awaiting an autopsy.
Cases of suicide have been on the rise amid efforts to address the menace. A campaign is ongoing to address the menace.
The World Health Organisation says such cases are attributed to joblessness, death, academic failures or pressures, legal and financial difficulties.
Other reasons are bullying, previous suicide attempts, history of suicide in a family, alcoholism and substance misuse, depression and bipolar disorder.
