According to the report, Brenda had raised concerns about the state of her relationship with her boyfriend, which led her to become angry and jump from the fourth floor of Hawk Flats in Ngumba Estate.
“The boyfriend reported that around 11:30pm, while with the girlfriend in the house, she expressed dissatisfaction with the current state of their relationship. They then proceeded to the bedroom where the lady left the reporter and went to the balcony,” the police report seen by this reporter read in part.
The police report further revealed that the DJ then heard a loud thud and when he went to check what had transpired, he saw the girlfriend’s body lying in the surrounding parking yard on the ground floor.
