Two foreign nationals were found dead with suspected gunshot wounds to the head inside an apartment along Chania Avenue in Kilimani, Nairobi.

Police said they believe the two, a Chinese man and a Vietnamese woman, died by suicide.

The deceased were identified as Nguyen Hong Ngoc, a Vietnamese woman, and Xu Zhiyu, a Chinese man.

The two lived together as a man and woman in an apartment where their bodies were found on Tuesday morning.

It is also suspected one of the victims first shot and killed the colleague before turning the gun to himself, blowing the head, police said.

According to police, a manager at the apartment reported hearing gunshots from house A506 at around 10 a.m.

The apartment was reportedly locked from the inside and could not be accessed immediately. Police were called to the scene.

The apartment management subsequently opened the house using a spare key.
