DJ Fatxo to testify in Jeff Mwathi murder case

In June, a witness told the court how he found Mwathi's body lying outside Redwood Apartments, triggering an investigation into the death.

DJ Fatxo is expected to testify in the murder case of Jeff Mwathi, who is alleged to have been thrown out of a building in Kasarani in 2023.

Mwathi allegedly was in Fatxo's house when he met his death.

The case will proceed before Milimani Principal Magistrate Rose Ndombi.

In June, a witness told the court how he found Mwathi's body lying outside Redwood Apartments, triggering an investigation into the death.

Security guard George Gitau Kamau said he reported for duty at about 6:10 p.m. and was joined shortly after by his colleague, Abdalla.

Kamau, who has worked at the apartments for three years, explained that at about 3:00 am, he conducted a routine patrol and returned to the security room.

"Between 5:00 am and 6:00 am, I heard a loud thud, like something heavy had fallen," Kamau said.

"The distance from the gate to the scene was roughly five metres. When I checked, I found the body of a young man on the ground. He had a cracked head, and his trousers were pulled down to his knees, leaving him naked."

Kamau said he immediately alerted the caretaker, who in turn called the manager and later the police. He added that he had not heard any noise or argument from the apartments that night.

He explained the procedure for admitting visitors, saying new arrivals must call the resident they intend to visit, record their names in the gate book, and only gain entry upon confirmation.

According to Kamau, the building's structure made it difficult to hear activity from the units.

He confirmed that no visitors were recorded for DJ Fatxo that night and that he did not see the DJ leave with anyone.

The car belonging to DJ Fatxo had not returned when the incident occurred.

Kamau also said the CCTV camera in the parking area captures activity, although security personnel at the gate cannot directly view the area.
