The investigation into the unsolved death of 23-year-old Geoffrey Mwathi has been taken up by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations' homicide unit.

After a request for a comprehensive investigation by Interior Cabinet Secretary Prof. Kithure Kindiki, the DCI assumed control of the investigation on Friday morning.

Following the instruction, the homicide investigators started a "new and thorough probe" that included visiting the Redwood Apartments in the Kasarani neighbourhood, where DJ Fatxo, a Kikuyu benga performer, lived.
