DJ Fatxo cooperating with authorities in Geoffrey Mwathi death probe- lawyer

Charles Mugane, a lawyer for popular Kikuyu benga singer and DJ Fatxo, says his client is available and will cooperate with authorities as the investigation into the death of interior decorator Geoffrey Mwathi continues.

According to Mugane, 'DJ Fatxo,' born Lawrence Njuguna, has appeared before the investigating officer every time he has been summoned since the February 22 incident.

"My client is cooperating with the ongoing investigations, all the times that he has been summoned to appear since the death of Geoffrey, he has been available," Charles Mugane told Inooro TV. 

The lawyer also expressed condolences to Mwathi's family, but claimed that the situation was 'difficult on his client as well as his friends.'

"To Jeff's family we want to send our condolences, this is a difficult matter on my client and his friends, in the end the truth will become clear,"  he added. 

Mwathi jumped to his death from the 10th floor of the DJ's apartment after a night out, according to statements recorded by the DJ, his cousin, and his driver at the Kasarani police station.

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.

It's unclear what happened, but CCTV footage shows two men in the apartment's parking lot scanning the area.

The deejay's cousin is also seen making several phone calls before returning to the apartment.

Seven minutes later, CCTV footage showed Mwathi falling from the apartment, perplexing police and neighbours.

According to his uncle, Muchoki Mwathi, the late interior decorator was found dead with his pants pulled down to his knees.

Pathologists at the City Mortuary, where an autopsy was performed, were unable to determine whether the late Mwathi had been sexually assaulted because it had been 72 hours since the incident.

According to statements filed by the disc jokey and the two men present at his house during the incident, the late Mwathi jumped to his death.

They claim to have discovered Mwathi's death after the DJ returned home around 9 a.m., informing them of the situation outside the apartment.

Meanwhile, Mwathi's family has dismissed the suicide narrative, claiming that the interior decorator had never considered suicide.

Investigations into the matter are ongoing.
