Joe, a freelance photographer from Nyakach constituency, was initially reported missing before his body was discovered in Naivasha, sparking shock among family, friends and the media sphere.
The phone that changed everything
Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, his late brother, Robert, revealed new information about the family’s interactions with investigators from the Department of Criminal Investigation.
According to him, the officer of DCI identified as Peter Orwa, asked him to come to their offices in Naivasha, but it is said that he refused to explain why over the phone.
“He told me to show up in person, and if I couldn’t make it, I should give my parents the address,” Robert said, adding that he chose to travel by himself the next day.
A horrifying revelation
Robert said that he arrived at the DCI offices on Wednesday, March 4, around 10:30 am and waited for the officer until 11 am.
When the detective arrived, he reportedly asked several questions about Joseph, including their relationship and when they last spoke.
“He asked me if the deceased had shared any worrying news with me, to which I said no,” Robert recounted.
Shortly after, the officer gave the sad news that his brother had been found murdered and dumped somewhere in Naivasha.
