New video footage has uncovered fresh details on the final moments of Zaituni Kavaya, a 54-year-old woman who died under mysterious circumstances at a building in Kilimani Estate, Nairobi County, where she worked as a mama fua.
The footage, seen by Viral Tea, captures a chilling sequence. A man in a white shirt is seen on the fifth floor holding onto Kavaya briefly before letting her go, a man who could be a person of interest amongst investigators working the case.
She then maneuvers her way down to the fourth floor, where three women appear to engage her in conversation. Despite the exchange, Kavaya continues downward to the third floor.
It’s at this point that the situation visibly deteriorates. The third-floor section, enclosed with glass panels, leaves her with no secure place to cling to.

The footage shows her struggling, appearing increasingly distressed and vulnerable. Still images from the video reveal her wearing a blue outfit with red and black blotches as she attempts to stabilize herself.
Police say Kavaya eventually fell to her death, suffering blunt force trauma, as confirmed by a postmortem report shared with her family just a day earlier.
Her death has ignited protests by her relatives and members of the domestic workers’ union, who accuse authorities of dragging their feet in delivering justice. On Wednesday, September 24, demonstrators marched from Kibera, where Kavaya lived, to Kilimani, where the tragedy occurred.
During the demonstration, residents gathered outside the apartment block where the 54-year-old lost her life, waving placards and twigs as they pressed for justice. From their position at the building’s entrance, the crowd voiced demands for accountability over her death.
"We have come here to protest the death of one of our own. As a former domestic worker who has worked in 8 countries, I did not expect such a thing to happen in Kenya," said one of the protesters.
"These are things that have mainly been happening in Arab nations, where you try to defend yourself and the next thing that happens to you is that you are thrown from a storey building to death."
They later met with Kilimani Police Commander Patricia Yegon, pressing for answers. “We have this case, and we are still investigating. Zaituni will get her justice,” Yegon assured.
The footage has now become a central piece of evidence, intensifying public scrutiny and piling pressure on investigators to determine what truly unfolded in the moments before Kavaya’s death.
Faith Kavaya, the daughter of the deceased, recounted that her attempts to reach her mother by phone were unsuccessful, as the calls went unanswered. She explained that she had intended to bring her mother some tea but was unable to find her.
Later, Faith received a call from a police officer directing her to report to Kilimani Police Station. It was there that she was informed that her mother had died after falling from the fifth floor of a building.
She later went to the Nairobi City Mortuary, where she confirmed her mother’s body. Court filings indicate that the death was allegedly linked to a dispute over missing money.
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have so far arrested five Sudanese nationals in connection with Kavaya’s death. The suspects were taken to Kilimani Police Station for questioning, as officers pressed on with investigations into the worker’s demise.
