Mr Jesse Wafula Walukha, the boyfriend of the murdered accountant June jerop claims that the deceased owed him ksh 1 million.
In documents submitted to the High Court in Nairobi, Mr Jesse Wafula Walukha further claims that Kangogo was his business partner and that she was dodging questions about her lifestyle and car ownership from her coworkers.
According to him, there is no concrete proof connecting him to Kangogo or the murder, and Hence, he is asking to be released from police custody.
He denies ever meeting Kangogo, a Kenyatta University MBA student accused of having a coffee date with him before she passed away, and claims he has nothing to hide.

Mr Walukha, who identifies as an ICT expert and a young businessman with operations in Bungoma and Nairobi, claims that he sold Kangogo a salvaged automobile and that, at the time of her passing last month, she still owed him Sh1 million, which was being paid.
In addition, Mr Walukha notes that he and Kangogo were business partners, and she used his enterprise to submit bids on her behalf to the company where she was employed.
Due to the significant transactions that have been taken from Kangogo's phone records, he claims, the Inspector-General of Police and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions have been able to confirm this stance.
"I am also in the business of selling salvaged cars and had sold to Kangogo her motor vehicle. At the time of her passing, she still owed me about Sh1 million which she was still paying. As such the motor vehicle is still in my name," says Mr Walukha in a petition filed in court by his lawyer John Swaka.
He added that Kangogo asked his client to put the lease in his name to escape any questions at her workplace because she was earning Sh48,000, and her monthly rent was Sh30,000. The auditor at her place of work would have raised eyebrows about this kind of arrangement.
