DJ Fatxo breaks silence on death of Geoffrey Mwathi

Popular Kikuyu artist Lawrence Njuguna, known in the local entertainment scene as DJ Fatxo, has broken his silence on the demise of 23-year-old Geoffrey Mwathi who reportedly fell to his death at an apartment he was living in.

Speaking outside Redwood Apartments around Safari Park Estate on Friday, as detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) combed through the crime scene for fresh evidence following a directive from Interior CS Kithure Kindiki, DJ Fatxo noted that he wants the truth behind the incident to come to light.  

"Mimi tunataka tujue ukweli sisi wote pamoja," he said.

He similarly expressed confidence that he would be declared innocent once detectives conclude their investigations.

"We believe that justice will prevail and management yangu itawapatia siku ndio sasa tukae tuongee," he told reporters but refused to make further comments.

In the February 22 incident, Mwathi who was an interior designer, was captured on CCTV footage falling from the 10th-floor apartment window of the house belonging to DJ Fatxo.

According to reports, Mwathi had been in DJ Faxto's house after spending the night partying with the popular Mugithi singer alongside his cousin and driver.

CCTV footage from the Redwood apartments shows Mwathi with DJ Fatxo and three unidentified women returning to the DJ's apartment around 3 am.

According to the police report, there was another man, a relative of the DJ, who arrived at the apartment in a different car.

The DJ was seen on CCTV leaving his apartment with the three women around 4 am, while Mwathi was left in the house with two other men.
