University of Nairobi Student Murdered In Madaraka Estate
Newsroom Updated 3 min read
Caption : Edwin Kigen Who was Murdered in Madaraka Estate. We demand for answers from Boinnet ! Another young man may have been brutally assaulted and left for dead early Saturday morning,18th of February. The incident begun on the morning of Saturday 18th, when the brother was informed that Edwin Kigen aged 22 and a 4th year Student of The University of Nairobi had passed away and that the family should come identify his body at MADARAKA ESTATE AGAPE COURT BLOCK 88C.
The guards in the estate who were manning about 50m from the scene claim that he fell from the 3rd floor window of the building having tied a cable on his waist. Upon investigation it was found out that the said window had grills and it was impossible to fall to the ground from the 3rd floor window, the narrative then changed and the guards claimed that he threw himself from the roof and hit the 3rd floor window and finally the ground leading to his death.

The following scenarios cast doubt on the nature of death.
- Who would climb to the roof of a building in an estate he has never been in just to throw himself to the ground?
- How is it logical to fall 5 stories down a building and not break a single bone in the body? And have only one injury point (back left) of the head.
- Why did the guards let his body lie there till morning as he bled to death instead of alerting the nearest hospital (Nairobi West Hospital) which is just 5 minutes drive?
- Where were the residents of this building at the time of the incident and might they be involved as well?since none of them offered to help...no one- even bothered to call an ambulance?
- Where were the police? Is it logical for Police to arrive 2 hrs later to a scene that's 10min away. (Nyayo Police Post)...also (Nairobi West Police Post) Both 10min away?
- Why did it take the Police an additional 2 hours before the Family was 1st called to the scene of the accident? Making it a total of over 4 hours.
- Could the cable found tied on the deceased waist have been used to tie him up? Could the stones found beside his body have been used to hit him on the back of his head leading to the deceased bleeding to death.
A lot of questions are left asked than answered.
EDWIN KIGEN was a young vibrant man, full of life and a very brilliant entrepreneurial mind and it's a big blow not only to the family but to Kenya as a whole.
