A man died after he was pushed off the fifth floor of a residential house in Riruta, Nairobi. Police said two men who were roommates were fighting along Ngina Street.

According to police, John Kibe and Dennis Okello who were roommates at the house were arguing and fighting.

It was then that Kibe dropped to the ground floor and died on the spot after landing on his back.

Residents rushed to the affected room and failed to find Okello. But after a search, he was found on the rooftop of the house and arrested.

Police said they are investigating the incident and they were yet to establish the motive.

The body was moved to the mortuary pending autopsy and further probe.
