Lawrence Njuguna, widely known as DJ Fatxo, a prominent Mugithi artist, recently addressed the lingering controversy surrounding Jeff Mwathi’s death, which had been linked to him over a year ago.
In an interview with Obinna TV, the 28-year-old singer revealed that no charges were filed in connection with Jeff Mwathi’s untimely passing. He clarified that the authorities did not find sufficient grounds to pursue a case, dispelling previous speculations about his involvement in the incident.
“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 emphasized that he was not present at his residence when Jeff tragically passed away. He expressed sorrow over the loss of his close friend, describing Jeff as someone he deeply valued.
“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 tragically lost his life on February 22, 2023, after falling from the 12th floor of Redwood Apartments in Kasarani, where DJ Fatxo resided at the time.
