Chilling! Full list of celebrities John Matara was targeting

Following the pandemic, John Matara—a person suspected of being a serial sex offender—turned his focus to social media in an effort to establish connections with influential people, such as Margaret Wanyama, who is well-known for her affiliation with DJ Mo.

In October 2020, Wanyama gained notoriety following her association with the gospel DJ and the disclosure of their correspondence online. In any case, DJ Mo and Wanyama refuted any misconduct. Following the media frenzy she relished, it appears that Matara also followed her on social media and messaged her privately, requesting a meeting.

Wanyama barely avoided Matara’s attempts, quickly barring him on Facebook after learning he was a friend following his identification as the primary suspect in Starlet Wahu’s horrific death.
He sent Wanyama another direct message in May 2023, asking for her WhatsApp number so they could communicate further and “mingle.”

In response, Wanyama shared a screenshot of the several people who disregarded his messages and expressed gratitude for not coming across any danger.

“Imagine he even chatted me,” Wanyama exclaimed. Fortunately, I deleted his communications. “I didn’t even realize this guy followed me,” she continued. I’ve blocked him.

Matara reached out to other influencers besides Wanyama. Under the street name “Rebelius Monk,” he attempted in vain to interact with other well-known influencers on Instagram.

His Instagram postings, empty of captions, emerged on November 9, 2021. On March 26, 2022, he posted two more images of himself with long, thick hair, one of which had a black cotton headwrap pulled up into a high bun.

With just 50 followers on Instagram, Matara’s account is followed by 18 users, nine of them are well-known, well-known female celebrities. Among the notable people he followed on Instagram were Kourtney Kardashian Barker, an international celebrity, and Taylor Swift.

Berhane Among the influencers he decided to follow is Lucia Natalina. Despite leading a secluded life, not much is known about her. Based in Kenya, Berhane is a marketer, content developer, and expert in skincare and cosmetics.

Teacher Wanjiku, whose true name was Carolyne Wanjiku Tharau, is another someone he idolized. Teacher Wanjiku is an actor, comedian, and producer from Kenya. She is the creator and CEO of Mwalimu Production, a content production business that specializes in kid-targeted animation.

Matara also follows media personality, entrepreneur, and reality TV star Betty Kyallo. He also included entrepreneur and former media star Julie Gichuru on his list of followers. The creator of Inua Dada, Janet Mbugua, together with two artists, Avril and Diana B, were among the individuals Matara decided to follow on social media.

Despite his evil schemes, Matara never really took off on Instagram. When his attempts at using social media failed, he turned to dating websites in order to carry out his complicated schemes.
He was accused of luring women to the Tagged dating service with promises of lavish dates and constant money transfers.

Thus far, three women have accused him of seducing them into AirBnB dates and abusing them; Matara connected with victims using social media sites like Tagged. The social network Tagged, which was founded in 2004, changed its terms of service on December 8, 2023. It now clearly states that it does not do criminal history checks on its users and advises them to use caution while dealing with other users.

Police are documenting their ongoing investigation into Matara’s alleged crimes. Matara is currently the primary suspect in the gruesome murder of socialite Starlet Wahu.
