The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) forwarded to the DPP’s office for action the file on the investigations into Jeff Mwathi’s death.

According to the DCI report, Mwathi’s death still remains inconclusive with possible suicide suggested as the strongest explanation for how he met his death.

Detectives were unable to pin six suspects to Mwathi’s death.

The six people, including the DJ Fatxo, his driver, two women and another man, were in the Redwood apartment on the fateful night that Mwathi fell down to his death.

The DCI investigation states that Mwathi eventually became intoxicated at the apartment and started throwing up.

He was led into a nearby room to recuperate from the effects of the alcohol, with the party continuing in the adjacent sitting room.

Detectives said that one of the ladies, who was unfamiliar with DJ Fatxo and his friends, stated that she wanted to go home.

CCTV footage, which was part of the evidence the detectives relied on, showed DJ Fatxo and the two ladies leaving the apartment shortly after.

Meanwhile, the two men who remained at the house continued with the festivities.

According to the detectives, the two left the house shortly after and reportedly went to the parking lot to see if the DJ Fatxo had returned and passed out in the car.

During the investigations, detectives were told it was not uncommon for the DJ Fatxo to return home and pass out in his car after a night out.

According to detectives, the two men were still in the lift on their way to the parking lot when CCTV captured Jeff Mwathi’s body falling off the 10th floor of the apartment block.

Police believe the small window in DJ Fatxo’s house from which Mwathi is said to have fallen from was too narrow for a person to be pushed through.

Detectives believe Mwathi jumped from the window, which could explain why his body was discovered with his pants at the knee, his last contact with the window was at the waist.

The evidence gathered during the investigations also revealed that the two men returned to the house after checking the parking lot.

According to the findings by police, Mwathi’s absence was discovered hours after he failed to wake up, prompting a check into the bedroom where he had been sleeping.

DJ Fatxo was seen on CCTV returning home after dropping off the two ladies. He was caught on camera talking with a neighbor before covering his eyes and walking into the apartment.

At the house, he is said to have told the two men that he heard that a person had fallen off the building but he could not bring himself to go out because of a fear of dead bodies or things associated with death.

At that point, it is said that DJ Fatxo was still not aware that the person who had fallen off the building was Jeff Mwathi.
