The parents of the late Jeff Mwathi on Tuesday, March 14, expressed sadness and frustration over the slow pace of investigations into their son’s death.
Jeff, who passed away on February 22, after falling from the 12th floor of a building and landing on a concrete floor, had been in the company of two people prior to his death.
Speaking to the media after recording statements at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters, Jeff’s parents revealed that they were aware of his friendship with Lawrence Njuguna alias DJ Fatxo.
Peter Ngugi, Jeff’s father, stated that he had seen photos of DJ Fatxo and his son on the internet and knew that they spent time together.
Despite being aware of the relationship between the two, Ngugi stated that he had not known DJ Fatxo well enough to be worried over his behaviour or influence on his son.
“We did not know the kind of friend he had. If we knew he was a bad friend, we would have warned him from the beginning.
We only knew that they were friends and we saw them together on the internet like the other friends he had,” he stated.
