No Comments on DJ Joe Mfalme’s Role as State Witness in Murder Case: A Look at the Possible Scenarios!

The recent revelation that popular DJ Joe Mfalme will serve as a state witness in the murder case of Kabete Police Detective Felix Kelian has sent shockwaves through the music industry and legal circles alike. As a state witness, DJ Joe’s testimony could play a pivotal role in the case, potentially shaping its outcome and shedding light on the events leading to Kelian’s tragic death.

Here are some possible scenarios of the case going forward with DJ Joe as a state witness:

Conviction of the Accused: DJ Joe’s testimony could provide crucial evidence that leads to the conviction of his long time colleague and work mate, MC Hypeman Ballo in the murder case. While this outcome would bring a sense of justice to Kelian’s family and loved ones, as well as to the wider community, This would ruin DJ Joe’s relationship completely with Ballo and stick the ‘snitch‘ tag on Joe

New Suspects or Motives: DJ Joe’s testimony could also uncover new information that changes the course of the investigation. This could lead to the identification of new suspects or motives, potentially shedding light on the circumstances surrounding Kelian’s death.

Plea Deal: DJ Joe’s cooperation with the authorities could lead to a plea deal for the accused, potentially reducing their sentence in exchange for information. This outcome could help expedite the legal process and bring closure to the case.

Challenge to Credibility: The defense could challenge DJ Joe’s credibility as a witness, potentially casting doubt on the prosecution’s case. This could lead to a more drawn-out legal process, with both sides presenting their arguments and evidence in court.

Impact on Joe’s Career and Public Image: DJ Joe’s status as a state witness could also impact his career and public image, potentially leading to backlash or criticism from fans or associates. This outcome could be a challenging one for DJ Joe, as he navigates the legal process and the potential impact on his personal and professional life.

Precedent for Future Legal Proceedings: The case could also set a precedent for how state witnesses are treated and regarded in future legal proceedings in Kenya. This outcome could have far-reaching implications for the legal system and the role of state witnesses in criminal investigations.

As the case unfolds, it is clear that DJ Joe’s testimony will be a crucial factor in its outcome. The legal process is complex and unpredictable, and the ultimate outcome will depend on various factors, including the strength of the evidence, the credibility of the witnesses, and the arguments presented by both the prosecution and the defense.

Regardless of the outcome, DJ Joe’s decision to serve as a state witness is a brave one, and his testimony could play a pivotal role in the pursuit of justice for Detective Kelian and his loved ones, But could be a life ending move for his friend, Allan Ochieng, aka MC Ballo.

City Lawyer Mysteriously Abducted, Shocking Twist Reveals Links to Murder Fugitive’s Escape.

No Comments on City Lawyer Mysteriously Abducted, Shocking Twist Reveals Links to Murder Fugitive’s Escape.

City lawyer Beatrice Ngethe found herself in a perplexing situation after being picked up by DCI officers and held in an undisclosed location since Friday. The turning point came when she was released on a Ksh100,000 cash bail, prompting questions about the circumstances surrounding her apprehension.

The sequence of events unfolded when Beatrice was taken from her Nairobi apartment by three unidentified individuals in a Subaru Forester, as captured by surveillance footage from an undisclosed location. After her departure, three officers, two women and a man, were observed entering the premises and later emerging with Beatrice, escorting her towards their parked vehicle adjacent to the apartment wall.

This mysterious incident occurred a few minutes past 6:50 am on Friday, with the group swiftly departing by 7 am, leaving her family members in a state of frantic worry. Despite their relentless efforts scouring various police stations, including Kiambu, Gigiri, Muthaiga, Karen, and the DCI headquarters along Kiambu road, Beatrice remained untraced for three days.

The veil of uncertainty surrounding her whereabouts was lifted when she reappeared at Pangani Police Station. The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) had played a pivotal role in demanding her immediate release, citing her affiliation with Kevin Kang’ethe, a Kenyan fugitive linked to the murder of Maggie Mbitu at Boston Logan International Airport.

While it remains unconfirmed whether Beatrice served as Kang’ethe’s legal representative, LSK affirmed her right to represent him, given his status as the prime suspect. Kang’ethe’s escape from Muthaiga Police Station, allegedly facilitated by a visit from a purported lawyer at a Westlands nightclub, continues to baffle authorities.

Despite ongoing efforts, Kang’ethe remains at large, prompting LSK to seek clarity on the treatment of its member, Beatrice Ngethe. Meanwhile, detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations are actively pursuing a second suspect believed to be Kang’ethe’s brother, suspected to be the mastermind behind the dramatic escape.

The male suspect, who allegedly linked up with Kang’ethe at Muthaiga Police Station, has since gone off the grid, switching off his mobile phones and eluding law enforcement alongside the fugitive. Detectives are diligently examining CCTV footage from locations he last visited and analyzing mobile phone call data to aid in their investigation.

The circumstances surrounding Beatrice Ng’ethe’s arrest, lasting close to 72 hours, are shrouded in ambiguity. It remains unclear whether the male suspect communicated with her before or after Kang’ethe’s escape from Muthaiga Police Station, adding another layer of complexity to this unfolding narrative.

Why Did Jowie Irungu Kill Monica?

No Comments on Why Did Jowie Irungu Kill Monica?

Joseph ‘Jowie‘ Irungu was convicted of murdering businesswoman Monica Kimani in 2018. However, the motive behind the murder remains unknown. Justice Grace Nzioka, in her determination of the murder case against Mr Irungu and his then-fiancée Jacque Maribe, chose not to pursue the topic of motive. The judge agreed with Kimani’s family that a person can be pinned down for murder even when the motive has not been established.

The Penal Code requires proving of malice aforethought (intention to harm) and not the motive. Mr Irungu tried to advance a narrative of unfaithfulness on the part of Ms Kimani in court. However, the judge stated that it is possible to have DNA traces of more than one person on the straps used to tie Monica. As such, why the late Kimani had to die may well remain a mystery.

The questions of why Mr Irungu had a gun he did not use in the murder, why he stole an identity card two days before killing her, and who are the “others before the court” and will they ever be arraigned remain unanswered.

The murder of Monica Kimani was a gruesome and senseless act that left many people wondering why it happened. The fact that the motive behind the murder remains unknown only adds to the mystery. Justice Grace Nzioka’s decision not to pursue the topic of motive has left many people frustrated and confused. However, it is important to note that the Penal Code requires proving of malice aforethought (intention to harm) and not the motive. This means that even if the motive behind the murder is unknown, Mr Irungu can still be held accountable for his actions.

During the trial, Mr Irungu tried to advance a narrative of unfaithfulness on the part of Ms Kimani. He claimed that a message sent from the deceased’s phone to Anthony Kariuki Kaka, one of the prosecution witnesses, saying, ‘Kuja unisaidie kulala,’ was evidence of her unfaithfulness. He argued that if the message got to Monica’s Sudanese boyfriend, he would have gotten infuriated, annoyed, and probably would commit the murder. However, the judge stated that it is possible to have DNA traces of more than one person on the straps used to tie Monica. This means that the DNA traces found on the straps do not necessarily prove that the Sudanese boyfriend was involved in the murder.

The questions of why Mr Irungu had a gun he did not use in the murder, why he stole an identity card two days before killing her, and who are the “others not before the court” and will they ever be arraigned remain unanswered. These questions only add to the mystery surrounding the murder of Monica Kimani. It is important to note that justice was served, and Mr Irungu was convicted of the murder. However, the fact that the motive behind the murder remains unknown is a reminder that sometimes, even the justice system cannot provide all the answers.

In conclusion, the murder of Monica Kimani was a senseless act that left many people wondering why it happened. The fact that the motive behind the murder remains unknown only adds to the mystery. Justice Grace Nzioka’s decision not to pursue the topic of motive has left many people frustrated and confused. However, it is important to note that the Penal Code requires proving of malice aforethought (intention to harm) and not the motive. The questions of why Mr Irungu had a gun he did not use in the murder, why he stole an identity card two days before killing her, and who are the “others not before the court” and will they ever be arraigned remain unanswered. These questions only add to the mystery surrounding the murder of Monica Kimani.

Brutal Cold Murder Case Revisited 12 Years Later: Exhumation Ordered for Former KVDA Boss Silvanos Tubei

No Comments on Brutal Cold Murder Case Revisited 12 Years Later: Exhumation Ordered for Former KVDA Boss Silvanos Tubei

Police in Keiyo South Sub County are set to exhume a body believed to be that of the former Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA) boss Silvanos Tubei, who went missing 12 years ago.

A court order from the Iten magistrate’s court was obtained by police officers in Keiyo South Sub-County, Elgeyo Marakwet, to exhume Tubei’s remains from his Chepkurmum farm, where they were discovered over the weekend.

The discovery of the remains happened when children sent to collect firewood noticed a blanket buried in the area where Tubei’s body might not have been discovered. Upon pulling the buried blanket, an odor struck them, and a human skull was found, prompting them to alert a gardener on the property.

Two of Tubei’s children with his deceased first wife had moved abroad, while the second wife and her child disappeared after being acquitted by the courts. Officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) will take the remains for DNA testing to confirm if it is indeed Tubei.

If the DNA results identify the remains as those of the former KVDA chief, it could reopen a case dismissed by the courts due to lack of evidence, resulting in his estranged wife and another suspect being set free. The estranged wife was arrested after being found in possession of Tubei’s cell phone.

When reported missing 12 years ago, family sources informed the media and police that Tubei disappeared from his home at 10 am on the morning of September 26 and was never seen again. The discovery of clothing matching what Tubei was wearing when he went missing has raised questions for detectives investigating how a man reported missing ended up buried on his farm wrapped in a blanket.

The Intriguing Life and Murder of Jacob Juma, Kenya’s Twitter No Nonsense Boss!

Post date November 25, 2023
No Comments on The Intriguing Life and Murder of Jacob Juma, Kenya’s Twitter No Nonsense Boss!

In the realm of Kenyan politics and business, the story of Jacob Juma, affectionately known as @kabetes, is a compelling and intricate story.

Born in 1971 in Mungore Village, Bungoma County, Juma’s life journey was similar to one well scripted movie or a well written storybook. He easily weaved through the corridors of power and wealth. Many were even surprised such a person who was relatively unknown then, would be this powerful and have all the intricate details of some of Uhuru Kenyatta’s Major corruption Scandals.

Juma’s Early Years and His Political Entry.

Raised in a humble background, Juma’s pursuit of education led him from Bungoma to Nairobi, where he joined the Kenya Polytechnic, sponsored by MPs Chris Okemo and Cyrus Jirongo. This was his early major breakthrough. However, his academic journey took an unexpected turn when politics beckoned. This came in the form of Jirongo forming YK92 in 1992to mobilize youth support for then-President Moi.

It was during this period that Juma introduced a young future president, William Ruto to then Cyrus Jirongo, The kanu youth bigwig leading YK92

Juma’s Wealth and Political Influence

As a close associate of Jirongo, Juma found himself immersed in political dealings, accumulating wealth and influence. His ventures included significant land acquisitions, notably the purchase of a Ksh 9 million plot from President Moi’s son, Jonathan Moi, in the late ’90s. Juma’s financial prowess extended to business partnerships, such as Erad Supplies, which secured a lucrative tender worth 700 million Kenyan Shillings to supply maize to the National Cereals and Produce Board in 2004.

A Twitter Whistleblower is Born..

The turning point in Juma’s life occurred in 2012 when he facilitated a multi-trillion deal for a Canadian company, Cortec Mining Ltd, to mine Niobium at Mrima Hills. However, when the government, led by President Uhuru Kenyatta, revoked the license, Juma, feeling betrayed, transitioned from a behind-the-scenes player to a vocal whistleblower, and whistleblowing he did.

Juma’s revelations targeted prominent figures, with then Deputy President William Ruto taking center stage. Exposing Ruto’s ownership of Weston Hotel, alleged land grabs, and involvement in questionable dealings, Juma spared no effort to bring these issues to the forefront. He faced legal battles but remained undeterred, presenting evidence and pushing for justice.

Some of his explosive tweets touching on top Kenyan Politicians above. Photos/Twitter.

More Scandals..

Juma’s whistleblower crusade extended beyond Ruto, targeting then Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero, the famous National Youth Service (NYS) scandal, and the Billion dollar Eurobond scandal, where he claimed a staggering 100 billion Kenyan Shillings had been misappropriated. (Yes, that’s 100 with a B!)

His relentless pursuit of truth and justice put him at odds with powerful figures, leading to mounting threats on his life.

Jacob Juma’s Tragic End.

Amid cryptic tweets hinting at a sinister plot against him, Juma’s worst fears materialized on May 5, 2016. Assassinated by unknown gunmen.

His untimely death sent shockwaves throughout Kenya political and social landscape. To add to the gruesome murder, the killers staged the scene to appear as a drive-by shooting. This pointed to a well coordinated, trained, elite killer gang.

The questions surrounding Juma’s demise lingered, leaving a huge void in the fight against corruption and injustice.

Jacob Juma’s life, marked by wealth, political entanglements, and whistleblowing, remains a complex narrative in Kenya’s history. His legacy echoes in the unresolved scandals he brought to light, and the questions surrounding his death underscore the challenges faced by those daring to expose corruption in powerful corridors.

As Kenya navigates its political landscape, the tale of Jacob Juma serves as a poignant reminder of the perils faced by those who choose to speak truth to power.
