On November 23, Karani died after falling from Harmony Plaza Apartments in Nairobi while intoxicated at a small party involving singing, guitar, and alcohol. Seven students from Nairobi universities were detained for a week until CCTV emerged proving they had no role; a postmortem confirmed her intoxication. The court released them as state witnesses for a public inquest starting December 9, after an emotional hearing where the magistrate warned about alcohol's dangers and parents apologized to Karani's grieving family. The case highlights the need for careful investigations amid swift evidence review.
