DCI investigate mysterious death of groom to be a day before his wedding

Authorities in Githurai Sub-County are investigating the mysterious death of a man who was found dead in his home just hours before his wedding.

The deceased, Fred Gitau, was to be married to Joyce Waithera at the Deliverance Church in Kahawa Sukari on August 25, 2023. However, his body was found on the morning of the wedding day with a strange foam emanating from his mouth.

A relative who spoke to Nairobi News said that Gitau had expressed concerns about his safety in the days leading up to his death.

“He told us that he was in danger and that if anything happened to him, we should inform the police,” the relative said.

A detective from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) who is privy to the investigation said that Gitau’s shirt for his wedding attire was found in the back seat of his taxi on the day of his death.

“This is a strange case and we are still trying to piece together the events that led to his death,” the detective said.

The police are seeking statements from the best man and the maid of honor, who were reportedly the last people to see Gitau alive.

Perminus Muchangi, the police chief of Kiambu County, said that the investigation is ongoing and that the police will provide updates as they become available.

The death of Fred Gitau is a tragic reminder of the dangers that people face every day. It is important to be aware of your surroundings and to take precautions to protect yourself. If you have any concerns about your safety, please contact the police.
