When contacted, Pastor Mugambi said he was not aware that Jackline was married until the day she vanished.
“I visited the marriage registrar’s office in Embu and got marriage documents, believing she was available. I did not force her to marry me or demand sexual favours,” Mugambi insisted.
“We had three committees for the wedding - one in my rural home in Chuka, another in the church in Embu and one in Githurai, where my fiancée lived. All the contributions were in and we had purchased everything for the wedding,” Mugambi said.
Mugambi claimed he kept communicating with Jackline through text messages and phone calls and she even assured him that all was well.
“Jackline had gone to her parents’ home in Mombasa and was to show up two days to the wedding, but she didn’t, leaving me with Sh150,000 expenses,” he claimed, adding that, “The last message she wrote shocked me, but I was still optimistic.
She was in Machakos on her way home but was not sure about the wedding. I was heartbroken and immediately deleted the message,” Mugambi said.
