A Mombasa-based lawyer, Sammy Anyazwa, died on Wednesday, November 20, after plunging to the ground from the 8th floor of Uhuru na Kazi Building in what authorities suspect to be a case of suicide.

Anyazwa, 69, allegedly jumped out of the window after exhibiting signs of frustration during a phone call.

Anyazwa of Anyazwa & Company Advocates is said to have visited the Mombasa Land Registry located on the 6th floor Wednesday mid-morning, and after spending almost an hour, he came out furious and climbed up the staircases, while on phone.

Mombasa Urban police boss, Eliud Arumbi, said the circumstances leading to the lawyer’s death have not been established.
