Mugiithi singer Lawrence Njuguna alias DJ Fatxo has revealed that he has lost millions after being accused of killing interior designer Jeff Mwathi.

Dj Fatxo, who ekes a living through his music performances said he has not been able to perform for three months now. 

The Singer called off his scheduled performances to give room for investigating officers to conclude a probe into Jeff Mwathi's death.

"I was performing weekend after weekend; from Thursday through to Sunday.  I had huge bookings before all these (Jeff Mwathi's death) happened. I was making some good money, let's say millions. For three months now, I have lost more," he said. 

DJ Fatxo was said to be the main suspect in the alleged murder of the designer who died on February 22, 2023. 

Faxto, earlier this month and through his lawyer, said he wants the Director of Public Prosecution to reveal the details of Jeff Mwathi's death probe.

In a statement dated May 12, 2023, Faxto said he was at the centre of investigations by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations over Mwathi's death and deserves to know the truth.

"We thus write this letter to have it on record that our client's wish and request has always been to have an open, proper, thorough, fair and independent investigation and interrogation of this matter and for the consequential finding to be made public at the earliest," the statement read.

"Our client has as a matter of fact been greatly negatively affected by the manufactured, widely promulgated and circulated accusations, innuendos and allegations of how the deceased met his death with the same prematurely and without any basis whatsoever alleging criminal culpability to our client."

DJ Faxto said the situation affected him and his music, and entertainment hustle.

He complained that he gets most affected when there are delays in decision-making.

The singer said the truth is the only aspect that can set him free as he is a captive of the said assumptions and allegations.

"We believe that the panacea to the anxiety that has built up in the minds of the family, friends and relatives of the late Mwathi on one part, and also the suffering and tribulations by our client on the other part, is the expedient discharge of your mandate and the communication of the same," the statement read.

The Mugithi singer said since the matter was of public interest, he expected the DPP to act expeditiously.
