A construction worker died on Wednesday when a falling stone hit him in Nairobi’s Kileleshwa area.
According to the police, the mason was on the ground floor when the stone fell from the tenth floor of a building under construction along Kikambala Road.
The victim died instantly and the police were called to pick up his body, the Standard has reported.
The Wednesday morning incident is the second to happen after another worker died in the area last week.
