DJ Fatxo claims Samidoh helped ‘prove’ possible suicide in Jeff Mwathi’s death

Lawrence Njuguna, also known as DJ Fatxo, a Mwomboko artist, claims that Samidoh, a Mugithi star, assisted in establishing a suspected suicide as the cause of Jeff Mwathi’s death at the Redwood flat in Kasarani.

Speaking to a local radio station, Fatxo, a key suspect, claims that after Jeff was killed, Samidoh (Mwathi’s uncle) went to his residence with police investigators.

“Samidoh came to my house after Jeff’s death. The police requested since he was skinny that he tries going through my window to see if he would fit, and he did,” he claimed.

He also asserted that he had not spoken to Jeff Mwathi’s mother, Anne Mwangi, since the death puzzle.

He continues to communicate with Anne via his mother via Samidoh.

“My mum called Samidoh and requested that we be allowed to go for the burial.”

“The family has already concluded that I killed their son. I’m not able to call her. The story has now gone viral and she is still bitter.”

“If my son was to commit suicide he would have done so at home. Why did those people who remained at home not go and make a report? The story is being covered up even a child can see so.

“Fatxo planned to have my son dead, If not he would have made sure action was taken. I have nothing to talk to him about plus he cannot bring Jeff back to life. He killed my son, if not he would have said who killed him,” she stated after joining the interview via phone call.

Adding:”I pray that my son haunts them and may all their kids die the same way. An apology will never heal me. No justice was served, nothing even happened.”

Fatxo who was overwhelmed with emotions asked Kenyans to at least give him the benefit of the doubt saying he did not buy his way out of the murder case.

“I feel so bad hearing how Jeff’s mum is talking. I did not kill her son. If I wanted to kill him why would I take him to my house to do so? My house is near a forest adjacent to Safari Park, If one wanted they would have thrown him into the forest instead of the parking lot.”

Adding: “I did not pay my way out. How much money do I have? I live in a two-bedroom house. Justice was served, what happened is what was to happen because I am not that rich to buy justice.”

Nyeri teen arrested with homemade gun, bhang to be charged

A 19-year-old guy was detained by police in Nyeri County after being discovered in possession of a handmade gun that could fire and marijuana.

The National Police Service (NPS) said in a statement that the young man was detained as a result of a tip from the general public.

“Police officers from Munyange Police Station arrested a 19-year-old suspect after he was found in possession of a home-made pistol, stones of cannabis sativa and rolls of the same. He has been remanded in police custody,” the statement read in part.

The NPS also expressed gratitude to the general public for helping to support community police in the battle against crime and illegal narcotics.

A police officer assigned to the General Service Unit (GSU) was also found in possession of a handmade pistol the day before the teen’s arrest.

A failed heist in Kasarani sub-county led to the arrest of Mr. Graham Ndichu Chege, a GSU officer.

On Monday, May 29, 2023, Nairobi News broke the exclusive that the suspect has been on police radar for more than four months.

Officers worried about an armed gang terrorizing people in Kasarani Sub-County knew when, not if, Mr. Chege would be apprehended.

The suspect was being questioned about more robberies that had occurred nearby, according to an investigator with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) who is aware of the current inquiries.

“Officers involved in the matter believe that he was the one leading a gang that has been giving the locals in this sub-county a hard time. Plans are also underway to arrest his accomplices,” said the officer, who spoke in confidence as he is not authorised to speak to the media.

According to a police report reviewed by this reporter, Mr. Paul Maina said that three individuals on motorcycles and carrying pistols robbed him at gunpoint of his cell phone at the Cooperative area along Kamiti Road.

“Police officers on foot patrol responded very quickly and with the help of bodaboda riders they chased the suspects to Juja Weighbridge where the suspect’s motorcycle developed mechanical problem and Mr Chege was arrested,” the report reads in part.

As a GSU officer assigned to the GSU Headquarters and Transit Section, Mr. Chege then revealed to the officers that he was to them.

When the police searched him, they discovered a makeshift pistol that they claimed might fire.

“A bloodstained broken knife and a motorcycle with registration number KMFH 031U, make Ranger Black, were recovered,” the police report added.

On Tuesday evening, a portion of a dormitory at Ebunangwe Boy’s Secondary School in Vihiga County caught fire.

Billy Maloba, a witness to the incident, estimates that the fire started at 8 o’clock.

“No one was injured in the accident since it happened when the students were doing their night preps in class,” he said.

Ebunangwe is a mixed boarding and day school.

The school has only one dormitory.

“It was raining around that time so it took a while for people to notice the fire,” Maloba, who said he lives a few metres from the school, said.

He claimed that once the fire was put out by the locals, the Vihiga fire department arrived.

Since property with an unknown value was destroyed, the cause of the fire has not yet been identified.

By the time of publication, the school still had not released a statement regarding the incident.
