Tragedy struck a family after their 19-year-old boy fell from the eighth floor of an apartment and died in Langata, Nairobi.
The deceased identified as Brenan Maxwell had had a confrontation with his mother at their home on Sunday June 22 before the incident happened.
The deceased son assaulted his mother before his friend intervened to stop the confrontation after she had questioned why he was drunk.
Witnesses said few minutes later, the boy’s father arrived home.
When the deceased saw him, he walked to the balcony oblivious of the dangers there and slipped off falling to the ground floor where he died instantly.
