The police have launched an investigation into the death of Ohagla dancer Sheila Wegesha alias Bamboo, who was allegedly killed by her husband, Jack Bamboo. Sheila Wegesha’s neighbour shared that the deceased’s kids started screaming after finding her dead. Gorry images emerged of the 38-year-old woman’s lifeless body in her bed as police arrived to pick up her body to go to the morgue. What happened at Sheila Wegesha’s home An immediate neighbour of the couple at their Hillview apartment in Athi River noted that it was impossible to know if they were having issues because of how the houses were set up. “When you look at this estate and the way the houses are, it is not easy to know what’s happening in the neighbour’s house. What we can say is by 1 pm yesterday (Friday), the kids started screaming because one child from this household came out saying their mum is dead,” he said. How Wegesha’s kids found out about her death The neighbour also disclosed that the couple had been living in the estate for two months and that they were working at night. “During the day, they are always at home, but at night you will see the car is not around, Wegesha’s eldest daughter, 18, revealed that she discovered her mother was dead when she went to take lunch to her.
