Fresh details have now surfaced regarding the final moments of the late Connie Githinji and Tonny Odhiambo, shedding new light on the incident that occurred at a Nairobi apartment complex.
According to the account, Tonny met Connie back in 2023 at Greatwall Gardens, Athi River, during one of her school holidays. After she returned to school, the two stayed in touch through WhatsApp, Instagram and TikTok, maintaining communication over time.
In 2026, the pair are said to have planned a reunion on a Saturday afternoon. However, Connie later informed Tonny that she was still having her hair done, eventually finishing at around 10pm. She then joined him in Hurlingham, where they spent hours together at an Ethiopian restaurant before leaving at around 3am.
While heading to Kaisa Gardens, Tonny claims Connie began acting strangely and mentioned that a doctor had told her she would die soon. Upon arriving at the apartment, security officers assisted the pair due to her uncooperative behavior.
Once inside the house, they discovered there was no electricity token. Tonny says he went to rest in the bedroom, leaving Connie in the sitting room, before hearing her repeatedly call out, “Lawal bye, Lawal bye.”
He claims he rushed out and found her seated dangerously on the sitting room window with one leg outside and one leg inside. After rescuing her, a struggle followed at the door as he tried to remove her from the apartment while she resisted.
Tonny then contacted the host, who alerted security officers. During the tense moments, he is said to have started recording Connie as she stated that her family hated her and that she wanted to end her life.
Security officers intervened and secured the sitting room window before leaving briefly to top up the electricity token so she could collect her belongings. Tonny says while he remained seated in distress, Connie later walked toward the bedroom. Moments later, he again heard her call out the same words. He rushed in and found her seated on the bedroom window in a similar position.
Before he could reach her, he claims she leaned outward and fell.
In shock, Tonny and security officers rushed downstairs in search of her, with a seven-minute video said to capture the frantic moments after the fall. He is also said to have requested that police be called and remained at the scene for over 40 minutes awaiting Investigators.
