A police officer attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations(DCI) headquarters was yesterday arrested after he allegedly pushed his girlfriend off the balcony of his fourth floor apartment in Ngumba area, Nairobi.
Police Constable Kevin Amwayi surrendered yesterday night after being on the run for two days.
Kasarani sub-county Commander Peter Mwanzo said they are interrogating the officer and will know the way forward soon.
“We don’t know if it was an accident or he did it. We are talking to him to tell us more,” he said.
However, Amwayi denied that he pushed Jackline Muthoni and argued she jumped off in a rage.
According to witnesses, Muthoni died after she fell on the rear windscreen of a salon car that had been parked outside.
She fell from the fourth floor of the apartment and it is not clear if she was pushed or jumped out after an argument with the man she was with.
An autopsy is planned for tommorrow to establish how she died.
According to police, the officer has been having domestic issues with the woman.
