Body of Missing Man Found in Collapsed Mombasa Building

  • The body of a man trapped in a condemned building in Mombasa was found days after demolition.
  • The man had been missing for over ten days before being confirmed dead in the rubble.
  • Kenya Defense Forces led the demolition as part of a multi-agency security operation.

A heartbreaking end came for a family in Mombasa after the body of their missing relative was finally pulled from the debris of a building that was demolished last week. The man had disappeared over ten days ago, with fears growing that he was inside when the structure started to crumble.

The search, carried out amid the wreckage, confirmed those fears after his body was discovered under the collapsed concrete. The building had been marked unsafe and later brought down in a joint operation by security forces.
