CS Kindiki Breaks Silence on Death of Jeff Mwathi After Uproar From Kenyans

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has pledged a thorough investigation into the death of Jeff Mwathi, a young man said to have died at the rented house of popular Mugithi artist DJ Fatxo. 

The CS in a statement said he had instructed the DCI boss Mohamed Amin to act on the matter and take necessary action.

Kindiki exuded confidence that the DCI will act on the matter and accord the family justice.

"On the matter of the late Jeff Mwathi, have spoken to the DCI Mr Amin this morning and instructed him to send a homicide team from the DCI headquarters to thoroughly investigate the incident and take the necessary action," the DCI said.

"I thank the DCI for his quick action on this matter. The homicide team from the DCI headquarters is dispassionate, and this will help resolve the claims of collusion at Kasarani Police Station where the matter was reported."

The statement by the CS comes after Kenyans on social media demanding justice for Jeff.

Jeff is said to have died at an apartment where DJ Fatxo lives on February 24.

Reports indicate that Mwathi was with the DJ throughout the day and they ended up at his house in Roysambu. 

It is not clear what happened but an earlier report indicated Mwathi committed suicide, a narration his family has refuted.

The body of Mwathi fell from the 10th floor of a building where Dj Fatxo lives.

DJ Fatxo has never commented on the matter despite being with Jeff in his last moments. He never mourned him on Twitter or even attended his burial. 

The developments raised eyebrows prompting Kenyans o ask the state to probe DJ Fatxo.
