For the past few days, the news of Pastor Elizabeth Wanjiru’s death has dominated the headlines.
It was first reported that the Wanjiru committed suicide inside Kikuyu musician Dishon Mirugi's house.
However, new details emerged after her family narrated what transpired before her untimely death.
The family who is seeking justice for their kin told the media that the late Wanjiru went missing on Friday after informing them that she was going to Dishon Mirugi's house to collect her money.
On Sunday, they received a report from police that she had been found dead.
The family has raised doubts over claims that their kin committed suicide and says she had confided in them that she was being threatened by Mirugi.
Esther Mugure, the deceased sister said she had told her about receiving threats from the Kikuyu singer.
"Ikiwa mwezi wa December aliweza kuniita kutoka Isinya nikuje Nairobi akanifahamisha kwamba alikuwa anapokea threats kutoka kwa Dishon Mirugi ambaye ni mwimbaji na ni pastor pia mwenzake...message zilikuwa zinasema ukiendelea kunidai pesa yako nitakumaliza na mimi ni untouchable."
The deceased’s mother Mwihaki said:
"Mtoto aliniambia mum pesa yangu imepotea... nikamwambia aende police station ya huko aripoti."
The sister further said that on Friday Wanjiru informed her that she had made up her mind to go collect her cash at Mirugi's house in Kahawa West.
"Alinipigia simu masaa ya saa saba akaniambia dadangu ile siku nimeishi kukuambia imefika kwa sababu sasa nimeamua kuenda kwa Dishon kuitisha ile pesa yangu. Saturday tulishinda tukimpigia simu hakushika wala hakurudisha messages...Sunday tukamjaribu asubuhi tukamkosa, nilijaribu kupiga hiyo simu tena ikashikwa na DCI akaniambia dada yenu hayuko tena," said Esther.
Dishon Mirugi was on Wednesday arraigned at Makadara Law Courts with police seeking to hold him for 14 days.
Mirugi, through his lawyer Ndegwa Njiru, has asked the court to release him on bail or bond terms. The court will rule on the application tomorrow.
