Margaret Wambui’s Death in Upper Hill: What the Investigation Reported

Margaret Wambui, 21, died after falling from the rooftop of Altura Apartments in Nairobi’s Upper Hill area in July 2026. A post-mortem examination found that she died from multiple severe fractures, according to Citizen Digital. The circumstances surrounding the fall were investigated by police.

What was reported about the investigation

Citizen Digital reported on July 21 that detectives who reviewed the building’s CCTV had ruled out third-party involvement. This is an account of the police investigation at that time, not a court judgment. The reporting also said the family was awaiting the conclusion of police investigations.

Early reports included conflicting details about Wambui’s age, workplace and the events before her death. This update uses the age and autopsy information in the later report and omits unverified speculation about her state of mind or why she went to the building.
