Jeff Mwathi's body to be exhumed for fresh autopsy

The exhumation of the late Jeff Mwathi's body is currently underway at his parents’ home in Likia, Njoro sub-county, Nakuru County.

Detectives from the homicide department of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) are part of the team leading the exhumation exercise for fresh autopsy amid the ongoing probe into of Mwathi’s death.

This comes after investigators revealed that Mwathi was murdered before he was thrown through out of the window of Mugithi artiste DJ Fatxo's house.

DCI boss AminMohamed on Wednesday joined detectives at Redwood Apartments in Kasarani, where the interior designer mysteriously died in late February.

DCI Amin was accompanied by detectives from the homicide department who were trying to reconstruct the scene of crime.

Mwathi was said to have fallen from the 10th-floor window of the apartment after partying with DJ Fatxo and his friends on February 22.

Reports indicate that Mwathi had met the entertainer hours earlier to hold discussions about an interior design gig that he wanted him to undertake for a fee.

After wrapping up the business meeting, the pair then went out for drinks at four different clubs in and around Nairobi.

CCTV footage from the Redwood Apartments captured Mwathi, DJ Fatxo, his driver and three unidentified women returning to the premises at around 3am.

According to a police report, a relative of the DJ arrived at the residence some minutes later in a different vehicle.

DJ Fatxo was then captured leaving his apartment with the three women at around 4am, while Mwathi stayed behind with two other men.

CCTV footage would a few moments later capture Mwathi falling to his death.
