According to Kindiki, he has reliable information on what happened and the events that led to Muthiani’s disappearance and eventually the brutal murder and how it happened.
“On the second of December, 2023, the deceased was at his home when he received a call from one (name withheld), who requested to meet with him at Meru town under the guise of attending a meeting with the governor of Meru County to resolve their differences.”
However, unknown to him, this was the last day he was to be seen alive as there was a plot to abduct and kill him to settle political scores that had risen between him and the Governor.
“Upon arrival at Meru Town, he was abducted and driven to Mutonga River in an area called Chakariga in Tarakanithi County. He was killed and his body thrown into River Mutonga at a place called Mutonga Bridge, where it remained undiscovered for several days.”
This comes after investigation team identified and arrested five individuals in connection with the brutal murder of Meru Blogger after which the five pleaded not guilty. They were placed in Nairobi and Kitengela Remand Prisons, awaiting trial.
