A decomposing body of a middle aged man has been found by the police in a rented apartment after neighbours complained of a foul smell emanating from the house.
The Nairobi police were forced to break into the two bedroom apartment in Ngumba Estate, Kasarani Constituency.
The man, according to Kasarani Sub-County Police Commander (SCPC) Muthuri Mwongera, has recently lost his job.
“The deceased had recently lost his job at city hotel due to the impact of Covid-19 pandemic,” Mwongera told Nairobi News on the phone, adding that cause of man’s death is yet to be established.
The middle-aged man, whose identity is yet to be revealed, is believed to have died nearly one week ago.
One of the neighbours said the foul smell was too much, adding that the deceased stayed alone in his house.
Police officers from Kasarani Police Post took the man’s body to City Mortuary.
