Citizen TV reported that evidence collected by detectives showed that the 23-year-old was allegedly killed in Lawrence Njiguna, alias DJ Fatxo’s house, before being thrown from the house. Later, The Office of the Director of Public Prosecution (ODPP) agreed with the Directorate of Criminal Investigation’s findings on the death of Jeff Mwathi.
DJ Fatxo’s lawyer, Duncan Okatch, stated that he had been cleared of criminal culpability in the death. Okatch stated that Fatxo had been vindicated, adding that the singer was not in the house when Jeff died. What did Jeff Mwathi tell his girlfriend before he died? Testifying in court, the makeup artist revealed that she started dating Jeff in 2021 while they were both staying in Ngara, Nairobi.
She revealed in February 2023, Jeff sent her a screenshot of his alleged conversation with Faxto offering him an interior design job. She recalled DJ Fatxo allegedly buying shoes from one of Jeff’s shops as she narrated the fateful day he died. “On February 21, I woke up at 6am to go to work. I used to call him every evening after work we meet at the bus stop and go home together. But he told me he wasn’t home and had gone with DJ Fatxo and another friend identified as Mutanu,” she claimed.
The soft-spoken lady said she went home, and at around 8:43pm, she sent Jeff KS 1,000 for cab fare. “He told me he was clubbing along Kiambu Road. We were in constant communication both on calls and texts. He then called and told me they had left for Quivers on Thika Road. He called while there and told me Fatxo had bought them a bottle of alcohol, and they were talking about business but had not finished and were going to Fatxo’s place to finish the meeting,” she alleged.
He assured her he would be back home but never made it. The following day, she went to work without knowing Jeff was dead. “Several attempts to reach him were futile. His phone was off and at around 3pm, Mutana called and asked me if I had seen Jeff. I asked her to tell me because they were together the previous night, and she was the one to explain,” she narrated.
“I asked him to check if Jeff was home, and he said no. I left work and went to Kimbo to search for him, but he was nowhere.” The lady said she was bothered because Jeff had never gone offline for that long, prompting her to call his brother John.
