Police probe suspected suicide pact after two foreigners found dead in Kilimani apartment
Investigators suspect one of the two may have shot the other before turning the firearm on themselves, although the circumstances surrounding the deaths remain unclear.
NAIROBI, Kenya - Law enforcement authorities are probing the deaths of two foreign nationals found with gunshot wounds to the head inside an apartment on Chania Avenue in Kilimani, Nairobi, on Tuesday morning. Nguyen Hong Ngoc, a Vietnamese woman, and Xu Zhiyu, a Chinese man, were discovered dead in Meteor Garden Apartments. The apartment manager alerted police to gunshots around 10am, and officers found the two bodies on a mattress in the living room, both with suspected gunshot wounds to the head.
The apartment was locked from the inside, requiring management to use a spare key to enter. Police suspect a suicide pact may have been involved, as they recovered a 9mm pistol, ammunition, spent cartridges, and a handwritten note believed to be a suicide note from the scene. The circumstances and motives surrounding the deaths are still unclear as investigators gather more information.
