Eddie Butita reveals he knew Starlet Wahu’s alleged murderer

Popular comedian Eddie Butita has acknowledged knowing John Matara, the prime suspect in the murder of Pastor Victor Kanyari’s sister, Starlet Wahu. Butita revealed this on his X page in response to a post by a user identifying Matara.

He commented on the post mentioning that he attended the same high school as Matara, acknowledging their past connection. This confirmation adds another layer to the ongoing investigation into the shocking murder.

“Haiyaaa @iamjoseh_ unakumbuka huyu jamaa Pale Butere Boys High School?” 

He even cheekily told one Kenyan he had a case to answer in his follow-up comments to the others who had engaged him.

“Hii kwa law tunasema you are an accessory to a crime, you reluctantly watched a criminal grow even going as far as kumchunia mandazi when njaa ilikuwa karibu kumaliza yeye, without raising your hands in class.. Am afraid you have a case to answer..”

Eddie refuted this by saying, “Ata mimi nimeona kwa whatsapp group.”

Following the shocking and horrific death of 24-year-old socialite and Instagram baddie Starlet Wahu, the Kenyan entertainment industry was plunged into mourning.

The aspiring socialite, who also happens to be the younger sister of famous preacher Pastor Kanyari, was allegedly killed by a man named John Matara following a tumultuous date in the South B neighborhood of Nairobi.

The curvy Starlet was spotted with Matara, who was dressed in brown khaki pants, a sleeved blue denim shirt, and brown shoes, according to CCTV evidence that the police provided.

Wahu, 24, completed the ensemble with a short denim coat and a crimson dress that she wore with black heels.
