The mystery surrounding Jeff Mwathi’s death has deepened after a witness claimed that Fatxo, a person of interest in the case, called her at 4am to ask for a hair product.She said it was the first time Fatxo had ever called her at that hour, noting he normally contacted her around 9 pm.
Fatxo is believed to have picked the product at around 4am, just hours before Jeff’s body was discovered after he allegedly fell from the 10th floor of his apartment.
It is now emerging that DJ Fatxo mysteriously picked a hair cream at 4am hours before the discovery of Jeff Mwathi’s body on the premises of the apartment where he lived.
Twenty-three-year-old Mwathi was allegedly pushed to his death after a night of hanging out with Fatxo at his apartment along Thika Road in February 2023. During an inquest into the young man’s death, a witness recently narrated how, hours before the victim’s body was discovered, the Kikuyu musician, who is a person of interest in the death, called her at 4am.
The woman, who works as a beautician, narrated that Fatxo had made an order of a hair cream 11 days prior, but on February 22, he called her at dawn asking if she had the cream in her possession.
“He called me and asked me where the products were. I told him I had them, and so by 10 minutes, he was at the location. I gave him the products and he left,” she said, adding they did not converse much. The beautician said it was the first time that Fatxo called her at 4am to ask for the products, adding that she found the call odd.
“I have known him since 2020, and he has always called me at around 9pm. So the call was also odd. He said he was just from a meeting and was in a hurry. He told me he would send me the payment before the end of the day,” she told the court. The businesswoman said they did not talk about him being from a party or where he was headed.
“I did not ask. When he called the first time, I did not pick up. The second time, I picked up and asked why he was calling me that early. He said he had been preoccupied and wanted to pick the products,” she said. How did Jeff Mwathi die? Mwathi died after he fell from DJ Fatxo’s 10th-floor apartment located along Thika Road on the dawn of February 22, 2023, and his family immediately began demanding justice.
CCTV footage reviewed by the police showed that Fatxo, Mwathi and three ladies went to his apartment located along Thika Road. However, the 23-year-old is believed to have died at dawn. DJ Fatxo, however, denied any involvement in Jeff’s death. The DJ recalled that he went to several entertainment joints with Mwathi and some other friends before heading to his home in the wee hours of the morning.
