Detectives
from the Homicide department of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations have
begun probing the mysterious death of Geoffrey Mwathi, a 23-year-old interior
designer, who died at the residential apartment of Kikuyu entertainer Lawrence Njuguna
alias DJ Fatxo.
This comes
after Interior CS Professor Kithure Kindiki instructed the DCI to probe the
case and get to the bottom of the matter following claims of collusion that
threatened to jeopardise investigations.
The DCI takes
over the investigations from Kasarani police station 16 days after the
incident.
Moments after
the Interior CS Kindiki instructed DCI
boss Mohamed Amin to conduct intensive investigations into the mysterious death
of Geoffrey Mwathi, homicide and forensic detectives from the DCI visited the
scene at Roysambu area of Kasarani to begin ‘fresh’ investigations.
The detectives'
first assignment was to reconstruct a scene at the 12-storey building
residential apartment where the 23-year-old fell on the 22nd of last month.
Geoffrey Mwathi
fell from a house on the 10th floor, rented by popular Kikuyu entertainer Lawrence
Njuguna alias DJ Fatxo.
It is not
clear yet where exactly the late Mwathi fell from, with CCTV cameras only
capturing him landing on the ground floor from the singer's house.
Detectives on
Friday were trying to establish whether Mwathi actually fell from the window or
he fell from the rooftop as it looks impossible for someone to fit into the
window frame.
Jeff had been
in DJ Faxto's house after spending the night partying with the popular Mugithi
singer alongside his cousin and driver.
Reports
indicate that jeff had met the singer hours earlier for an interior design job
and that he had been promised a down payment to begin work that same morning.
The business
meeting had wrapped up, it is recorded that jeff joined DJ Fatxo for drinks and
merry-making before ending up at Redwood Apartments some minutes past 3am on
the 22nd.
After scene
reconstruction, detectives will begin questioning persons of interest as they
try unravel the puzzle surrounding the mysterious death of the 23-year-old.
