The body of an unidentified woman has been recovered from the rubble of a building that collapsed in Nairobi’s Ruai estate on Saturday, officials said on Sunday.
Nairobi police boss Joseph Ole Tito said the search and rescue operation had been completed even as it emerged that two couples who had checked into the ill-fated guest house had left moments before the collapse.
