Probe into Jeff Mwathi's death enters final stretch

News
 Jeff Mwathi died on February 22, 2023.

After weeks of investigation and piecing together information from various sources, detectives based at the DCI Homicide Department are finalizing a probe into the death of interior designer Jeff Mwathi.

Mwathi, 23, died in unclear circumstances on February 22, 2023, and the public demanded to find out the actual cause of his death.

On Thursday, the DCI called for patience saying it was waiting for a report from Chief Government Pathologist Dr Johansen Oduor.

"So far, the Homicide team and Crime Scene experts based at the DCI National Forensic Laboratory have re-visited the scene, conducted a scientific scene reconstruction exercise and recorded fresh statements from witnesses in a bid to unravel the death mystery.

"Consequently, upon the recommendations of the Homicide experts, the body of the deceased has since been exhumed for a fresh autopsy, and toxicological samples obtained in order to establish whether the deceased had taken alcohol prior to the incident and determine its percentage, or any other toxic substances ingested prior to his death," read the statement in part.

DNA samples have also been obtained from the deceased and person of interest in the case as detectives try to establish whether Mwathi was sexually molested before his demise.

Earlier, CCTV footage obtained from the apartment where the incident occurred had also been analysed to paint a clear picture of the events of that fateful day.
