Court detains woman accused of killing Vioja Mahakamani actor Jamal Gadafi

The woman accused of stabbing to death former Vioja Mahakamani actor Jamal Nassul Gadafi will remain in police custody for five more days pending conclusion of investigations.

Grace Kanamu Namulo, 40, was on Thursday arraigned at the Mavoko Law Courts in Athi River, Machakos County but she did not take plea after the prosecution asked for more time to conclude investigations into the murder incident.

Thirty nine-year-old Gadafi, who was also an actor on KTN’s local drama series “Junior”, was stabbed in the chest using a kitchen knife by his alleged lover Grace Kanamu Namulo.

The couple, who had attended an evening party at the Arks Hotel in Mlolongo, Machakos County, a few hours to 6pm on Tuesday, quarreled after the woman allegedly began dancing suggestively and accepting drink offers from other men.

Mr Gadafi and Ms Namulo are then reported to have left the party and went to a butcher shop, which is located a few meters from the restaurant, where they were having a meal and drinks.

The pair continued to argue, a wrangle which was succeeded by a fatal stabbing of the former “Vioja Mahakamani” actor.

The woman was arrested on Tuesday.
