The mysterious death of socialite Sarah Njogu has taken a dramatic turn, as detectives delve deeper into the possibility of foul play.
Sarah’s untimely demise has sparked intense scrutiny, with authorities now investigating whether her death was a result of homicide or suicide, possibly fuelled by a love triangle.
On Friday, it was revealed that detectives are probing a love triangle as a potential motive behind the tragedy. The 25-year-old was found dead after either falling or being pushed from the second floor of an apartment building in Kasarani, following a heated altercation at a night party. She died on June 25.
Authorities have retrieved crucial CCTV footage from the scene to piece together the events leading to Sarah’s death. The footage, under intense examination, captures Sarah and her friends arriving at a shop in the same building at around 8 pm.
The group, which included two women and a man, appeared calm as they purchased alcoholic drinks before proceeding to Sarah’s friend's apartment for a party.
Witnesses and those in police custody reported that as the party progressed, Sarah and one of the women began arguing on the balcony about a man they were both dating—a foreigner.
In a fit of anger, Sarah allegedly jumped from the second floor, according to one suspect’s statement. The group rushed to her aid but found her unconscious on the ground floor. Despite attempts to save her, it was too late.
Detectives are now meticulously comparing statements from the suspects—currently in custody—to determine whether this was a tragic suicide or a deliberate act of homicide.
The three suspects, comprising a man and two women, were present with Sarah on the night of her death and are considered persons of interest in the ongoing investigation.
An autopsy revealed that Sarah suffered blunt force trauma to the head and had broken ribs, underscoring the violent nature of her fall.
The CCTV footage is seen as pivotal in this investigation, providing a timeline of events and helping to establish whether Sarah’s death was self-inflicted or orchestrated by someone else.
As detectives burn the midnight oil to unravel the truth, the love triangle theory continues to dominate the investigation. Sarah’s death, shrouded in mystery and suspicion, has left the community in shock and mourning, demanding answers and justice for the vibrant young socialite.
The investigation into Sarah Njogu’s death is far from over. The truth, hidden in the blurred lines between love and betrayal, remains elusive. Detectives are determined to uncover the circumstances of that fateful night and bring closure to a case that has captivated and disturbed the nation.
