Identity of one of the women who died in the collapsed Eastleigh building unmasked - She was buying curtains for her new house! RIP DORA NYAKITUMWA (PHOTOs)

Friday, November 6, 2026 - The identity of one of the women who died in the collapsed Eastleigh building has been revealed as Dora Nyakitumwa, who had gone shopping for curtains but never made it back home alive.

On October 23, the 34-year-old Dora travelled to Eastleigh to buy curtains for her new house, unaware that it would be her final trip.

According to information shared, she was inside the building shopping for curtains when it suddenly collapsed.

Her family spent 15 agonising days hoping that she would be found alive.

However, yesterday, her body was among the six recovered from the rubble.

Her husband, John Simiti, was reportedly contacted and asked to identify the body of his wife.

The tragedy has also raised questions about why the building was still operating, with shops on the ground floor while construction work continued on the upper floors.

Rest well, Dora Nyakitumwa.
