A Strathmore University student who had gone out to celebrate Valentine’s Day at Masshouse lost his life under unclear circumstances in the early hours of Saturday, February 15. The popular Nairobi entertainment spot now says it is fully cooperating with authorities to determine what happened.

“Good morning Kenyans, please assist me, I lost my brother on Sunday at Mass House. The police report said, the joint found a young man collapsed kwa stairs, autopsy jana shows he was killed.”
He revealed that the final cause of death was strangulation.
