Police have announced that murder charges would be brought against owner of the five-story building, which was under construction when it fell last week on the outskirts of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.
The building collapsed on a neighbouring home and killed a couple.
Police say the owner of the building was arrested on Monday at the city’s main airport while attempting to flee the country.
She will answer to the offences of criminal negligence and murder, police said.
Four county government officials from the planning department will also face similar charges
The owner of another building that collapsed on Monday morning after tenants had been evacuated will be charged for the offence of constructing a building without requisite approvals.
