Police have revealed the details of how a blogger got the video of the late Sharon Njeri’s last moments.
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations established that Njeri’s husband, Michael Macharia Njiiri aka DJ
Brownskin recorded the video and sent it to his girlfriend who lives abroad.
The lady then sent the video to a blogger who went public by posting it on social media sites, police say.
The video, released on April 1, 2023, showed Njeri drinking what is believed to have been poison.
It is then that the alleged poisonous substance took a toll on her and she succumbed.
DJ Brownskin was arrested on June 1, at a popular club in Kasarani, Nairobi.
He is being held at Kasarani police station.
His arrest came after police obtained an order from the Makadara magistrate’s court to hold him for seven days to complete investigations.
He is being investigated for aiding suicide contrary to Section 225 (c) of the Penal Code.
Police said Brownskin failed to prevent the commission of the said offense which led to the death of Sharon.
The case will be heard on June 9.
Police say Brownskin has been on the run after he defied a summons by police to record a statement in relation to his wife’s death.
The DJ had been summoned by detectives to shed more light on the death of his wife Njeri, 33, who ingested poison as he recorded on a device on the night of July 29 and 30, 2022.
In a heart-wrenching videotape released by the blogger on April 1, 2023, nine months after Njeri’s remains had been buried, her last moments were filmed by the DJ as she emptied a poisonous substance into a cup and ingested it without hesitation.
She then slumped on a couch and called her two children to inform them of her impending death.
The mother of two collapsed and died shortly thereafter.
She was buried at her parents’ home in Koimbe Weithaga village, Murang’a County, on August 6 last year.
