Papa’s twin brother, Simon Mwangi had earlier revealed that at 11:30 pm on that fateful day when they were alerted that he had jumped from Kirima Building, he was still alive

Here is the narration as told to K24 news.

“I WAS AT JAMHURI WITH PAPA DENNIS EARLIER FRIDAY.

HE LEFT AND WENT TO PANGANI. AT AROUND 9PM, I JOINED HIM IN PANGANI. HE HAD ASKED ME TO TAKE HIM HIS PASSPORT.

After accessing the studio, I went and greeted other people, who were in a different room.'

He further added,

“I SPENT TIME WITH HIS FRIENDS, AND LATER DECIDED TO LOOK FOR MY BROTHER.

I WENT TO THE RECORDING BOOTH, HE WASN’T THERE. I ACCESSED THE KITCHEN, HE WASN’T THERE. I WENT TO THE WASHROOM, I DID NOT FIND HIM THERE.

Simon thought his late brother had just gone to the shops, not knowing he lay dead and cold outside.

'AFTER FAILING TO FIND HIM IN ALL THE ROOMS OF THE STUDIO, I THOUGHT HE HAD GONE TO THE SHOP TO GET SOMETHING. HIS PRODUCER AND I WAITED FOR HIM FOR HOURS, BUT HE DID NOT RETURN.

I ASKED THE PRODUCER TO CALL PAPA DENNIS AND ASK HIM TO BRING US FOOD FROM OUTSIDE.'

Only for them to be called to identify Papa's body.

“WE CONFIRMED THAT THE VICTIM WAS PAPA DENNIS, MY BROTHER. HE WAS STILL ALIVE AT THE TIME.

WE CALLED DIFFERENT AMBULANCE SERVICES, BUT THEY TOOK LONG TO RESPOND.

WE FLAGGED DOWN AN AMBULANCE THAT WAS DRIVING PAST THE SCENE, BUT IT DID NOT STOP.

ANOTHER DROVE PAST THE AREA, AND IT STOPPED. THE MEDICS EXAMINED PAPA DENNIS, AND TOLD ME: ‘YOUR BROTHER IS DEAD, WE ARE SORRY’.
