Popular Mugithi singer Lawrence Njuguna, also known as DJ Fatxo, has spoken about the death of Jeff Mwathi, more than a year after being linked to the incident.
Speaking in an interview on Obinna TV, the 28-year-old singer noted that no one was charged regarding the mysterious death of the late Jeff Mwathi.
He explained that the prosecution did not see a reason to file a case as no one was involved in the incident, contrary to popular belief.
“There was no case. What happened was that after the DCI conducted their investigation, they submitted their file to the DPP for further review. The DPP later determined that there was no case. A case is built in the DPP’s office, then it is taken to court to determine if anyone should be charged,” DJ Fatxo narrated.
He further added, "In the whole situation, no one was charged because no one did what people were saying. I later came to realize that when the file is not closed at the police station. It is taken to court for a judge to hear from all of you who are presented as government witnesses.
Together with the DCI, who are witnesses, myself who was with him the entire day, and anyone who interacted with him or saw anything of the sort. When it gets there, the judge listens to everyone and finally has the authority to close the file and declare that no one is guilty.”
The Kikuyu musician stressed that he was not at his home when the late Jeff passed away. He mourned the deceased, saying that he lost a very good friend.
"He was a very good friend. If I take you to my home after a night out, it means that I care about you. People were very harsh and quick to judge me.
No one sat down to see that I was mourning the most. I personally lost a friend but people came and started talking a lot. God knows everything,” he said.
Jeff lost his life on February 22, 2023, after falling from the 12th floor of Redwood Apartments in Kasarani, where DJ Fatxo was living.
