Police Release e-Fit Image of Man who Fell from KQ Flight in London

London’s Metropolitan Police have released an e-fit image of a stowaway who fell from a Kenya Airways flight heading to Heathrow Airport on June 30th, 2019.

The body of the unidentified male fell in a garden in the Borough of Lambeth, South London minutes before the aircraft landed at Heathrow Airport from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi

Metropolitan Police in London tracked the flight radar to KQ Flight 100 after the owner of the garden reported the incident.

A composite image released by police shows a man of dark complexion and authorities believe he is a Kenyan national but that is yet to be confirmed as the stowaway did not have any form of identification documents on his body or luggage. He is estimated to be in his 30’s.

Police recovered his luggage comprising a bag with distinctive writing spelling “MCA” on the straps in the aircraft’s landing gear compartment. Police said the bag contained a small amount of Kenyan currency.

His fingerprint samples sent to Kenya for identification showed negative results forcing London’s Metropolitan Police to generate an e-fit image from his body that suffered multiple injuries.

“We have pursued a number of lines of inquiry in what has been a very sad incident to investigate. This man has a family somewhere who needs to know what has happened to their loved one,” Detective Sergeant Paul Graves, of the South Central Command Unit, said.

Anyone who can assist in the identification of the man has been asked to call the Metropolitan Police quoting the reference CAD 5395/30 June.

My guess is that he was probably a homeless man in Kenya, what we call street boys, or street people, who had never applied for an Identification Card. So there are no records of him anywhere, in the Kenyan system. The Britons should just take a DNA sample, for future reference, and give the body to Kenyan Authorities for burial.
