However, Jeff's father, Peter Ngugi, has come forward during the inquest hearing to shed new light on the events leading up to his son's untimely demise. According to Peter Ngugi, his son was asked to retire to the bedroom, where he was later killed. This revelation challenges the initial narrative that Jeff took his own life due to suicidal thoughts.

As the inquest continues and more details emerge, the truth behind Jeff Mwathi's tragic end becomes increasingly murky. The involvement of DJ Fatxo and the circumstances leading up to Jeff's death raise important questions about accountability and justice.

The mystery surrounding Jeff Mwathi's death serves as a sobering reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of seeking the truth in the face of tragedy.
