Kanyari reveals the last moments of Starlet Wahu’s life before her brutal murder

Salvation Healing Ministry founder Prophet Victor Kanyari has spoken out about the horrific circumstances surrounding his sister Starlet Wahu’s horrific murder on Thursday, January 3. On Sunday, January 7, at a solemn church service, Pastor Kanyari revealed that his sister had made a frantic attempt to contact him at two in the morning on that fatal morning.
Regretfully, he did not pick up the phone, not realizing how close she was to peril.

Speaking to Elizabeth Ngigi, Kanyari revealed the devastating information, stating that Starlet had given a substantial sum of money—roughly Sh500k—to her purported assassin, John Matara.

After first connecting on social media, the two decided to go on a date and finally scheduled an in-person lunch date.

“I know you have seen on social media and on TV and we are trending with people involving our church and saying my sister was killed. My sister was stabbed. My only sister who has lived in America for all her life. She has been in the University here and she was killed on Thursday morning. She was a very pretty girl and blessed. I do not want to speak about it but I know some of you are disturbed by the sad news,”

Addressing the congregation, Pastor Kanyari defended his late sister, emphasizing that her only mistake was trusting a stranger who turned out to be a killer.

“My sister got involved with a man she met on social media, thinking he loved her. The man invited her for dinner, claiming to be wealthy.
She fell into the trap of being a socialite with a large following on Instagram. They went to a club, had drinks, and then the man suggested they get a room for the night. Unbeknownst to her, the man was a serial killer.

They booked a house together. They bought HIV tests and went to their room. Unfortunately, the man was a serial killer. My sister did not see him as a killer but as someone who loved her. I do not see any problem with my sister. She was a young girl, single and looking for love. It is normal for her age. She is not the first girl to fall under his trap.
Kanyari further said the tragic turn of events unfolded when the killer started demanding money from his sister, Starlet, inside the room.
Kanyari revealed that she tried to contact him at 2 am, and by 3 am, the assailant began threatening her, demanding Sh500k.
“In the middle of the night, she tried to call me at around 2 am, but I did not pick up my call. At 3 am, he started threatening her and asked her for money, he asked her for Sh500k,”

As things became worse, there was a confrontation and Starlet’s attacker fatally stabbed her in the neck.

“My sister started withdrawing money from her bank but it seems she started being resistant and they fought inside there.”

The killer locked Starlet inside the room, making it difficult for her to seek help or medical attention.

She succumbed to her injuries, attempting to save herself at the door.

“He asked her to call her family to ask for money. The man later disappeared with the key and locked her inside there. She died at the door trying to save herself…’”

Only 20 close family members and friends attended the hurried funeral that Kanyari’s family chose on Saturday, January 6.

Pastor Kanyari clarified that in order to keep the situation private and prevent public attention, they turned down outside assistance as well as any support that was extended.

“We did not want any help and even those who sent money, I reversed. I did not want people to support me in burying my sister. I have seen on news that my sister’s killer has done that to other girls. It is a sad story and it is even very sad to see people bullying my family on social media. She died and we had nothing else to do so I requested my family that we hurriedly buried her since I did not also want media people to be all over me,”

Kanyari emphasized that people ought to quit berating him while expressing worry for his sister’s welfare.

“My sister was not a born again so I do not see any problem with her using alcohol or even going for a date. I am the one who is saved and not her.”

On the evening of Wednesday, January 3, 2023, Starlet was brutally murdered inside an Airbnb flat in South B, Nairobi County. After a postmortem on Friday, January 5, it was discovered that she had died from significant bleeding.

Another complaint alleging that Matara had imprisoned her inside an Airbnb and was torturing her while demanding money has already been sent to authorities looking into the issue.
