On June 12, Michael Macharia Njiiri, popularly known as DJ Brownskin, faced charges of aiding his wife, Sharon Njeri, in committing suicide in July 2022.
Following his arrest on June 1 at a club located in the Kasarani area, DJ Brownskin was brought before the Milimani Court in Nairobi on Monday morning.
In April 2023, a video capturing DJ Brownskin recording his wife, Sharon Njeri, ingesting a liquid substance suspected to be poison and subsequently assaulting her, surfaced online and quickly became viral.

As of now, DJ Brownskin is in custody at the Kasarani Police Station, where he is being held in relation to the incident.
The revelation of DJ Brownskin filming his wife in a vulnerable and tragic state has evoked profound sorrow and frustration among many Kenyans. The act of capturing such a distressing moment is seen as incredibly unfortunate and has intensified the gravity of the situation, particularly as the wife has since been laid to rest.
A Kenyan commentator pointed out the inherent contradiction in professing love for someone while callously recording their self-inflicted harm. They emphasized the urgent necessity of the suspect's apprehension and stressed the importance of swift justice in this deeply distressing case.
Among Kenyans who wanted the DJ to be arrested were Robert Alai, a member of the Kileleshwa county assembly.
