The vibrant life of Murang’a University student and popular influencer Consolata Githinji, known to her followers as Connie, came to a tragic end this past weekend. Following her fatal fall from the sixth floor of a short-stay apartment in Kileleshwa, new details have emerged regarding her final hours, including a haunting final social media post and chilling CCTV footage.
The Final Status
Before the tragedy unfolded, Connie shared a glimpse of her night with her friends. Her best friend, Regina, revealed a screenshot of Connie’s final WhatsApp status, posted at 00:08 (12:08 AM) on Saturday night.
The image captured Connie inside the apartment lift, looking cheerful and dressed in:
A brown top
A black coat
A black wig
Notably, the post contained no caption, leaving a silent final memory of the young influencer before the night took a dark turn.
Timeline of the Incident
CCTV footage obtained by Citizen TV and handed over to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) provides a granular look at the timeline leading up to the discovery of her body.
Time and Event
4:11 AM A security guard is seen patrolling the apartment complex.
4:17 AM Connie and a 33-year-old male companion arrive at the entrance.
4:18 AM The guard assists the pair in opening a keybox to retrieve the apartment keys.
4:32 AM Shadows and movement are detected near the apartment doorway, suggesting activity inside.
4:34 AM The guard enters the apartment; investigators are still determining what prompted this entry.
4:43 AM The guard leaves the unit, lingers briefly, and walks away.
4:46 AM The guard returns to the apartment for a final short duration.
Detectives believe 4:46 AM marks the last known time Consolata was alive. Approximately two hours later, DCI officers arrived to secure the scene and begin the forensic documentation of the unit.
Police have arrested the 33-year-old man who was with Connie at the time of the incident. He remains in custody as authorities work to establish whether the fall was accidental or the result of foul play.
The death of the Murang’a University student has sent shockwaves through the digital community. Tributes have continued to pour in from fans and fellow students, mourning a life cut short in its prime.
"She was always so full of life," one friend shared on social media. "To see that lift photo and know what happened just hours later is heartbreaking."
As the DCI continues to analyze the CCTV footage and the activities within the apartment, the community waits for answers in a case that has highlighted the potential risks surrounding short-stay rentals in the city.
