Tuesday, September 1, 2026- The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) Nairobi Branch has announced the death of advocate Rachel Wangui Ndirangu, who passed away after falling from the third floor of an apartment in Kilimani under circumstances that remain unclear.
According to reports, Wangui fell from a window at Suite
Life Apartments along Dennis Pritt Road, where she had been attending a party
with friends.
The incident was reported after Nairobi Hospital received a
distress call indicating that an unresponsive woman had been rushed to the
facility by three people, who claimed she had fallen from a building.
Officers from Kilimani Police Station responded and found
Wangui admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in critical condition.
Preliminary investigations indicated that Wangui had been in
a room with her 32-year-old boyfriend, Victor Mwangi, when she fell from the
third floor.
Police have yet to establish exactly what happened moments
before the fall, and investigations are ongoing.
Detectives who visited the apartment recovered bottles of
alcoholic drinks and used glasses, suggesting that a gathering had been taking
place before the incident.
Three people were taken into custody as persons of interest
to assist investigators in establishing what transpired.
They were identified as Victor Mwangi, Ann Mwangi and Kelvin
Kamau.
Detectives also believe that several other people who had
attended the party left the apartment before police arrived.
Wangui later succumbed to her injuries while receiving
treatment in the ICU.
Her death has sent shockwaves through the legal fraternity, with
colleagues mourning the young advocate whose life was cut short at the age of
26.
At the time of her death, Ndirangu was a practising advocate
at Wanjiru Kairu & Co. Advocates.
She is survived by her sister, Loise Wanjiru Ndirangu, who
is also a member of the bar.
Investigations are expected to shed more light on the circumstances surrounding the young lawyer’s fatal fall.
