When he went to Kilimani police station to report the incident, he found the accused pleading innocent over the killing. The witness said he confronted the accused in front of DCIO officers on the whereabouts of the pistol. It was later recovered in a search done at the house.
In 2020 February this year, another witness identified as Mwangi stated that Kelvin was shot dead during a house party where he had invited friends for a bite and drinks not knowing that it could be his last moment on earth.
"At about 11 pm, one Robert Bodo, said to be Kelvin’s bodyguard and a suspect, in this case, asked to take leave.
Kelvin and Bodo then moved to the deceased bedroom and after a short while l heard a loud bang,” Mwangi testified.
He said the deceased brother Wycliffe Omwega dashed to the bedroom and found Bodo holding a gun and Kelvin lying on the floor with blood oozing from his chest.
Mwangi added that Wycliffe came back to the sitting room and told them that Bodo had shot his brother.
Mwangi and the other five guests rushed towards the bedroom and then they met Bodo in the corridor coming out of the bedroom shouting Kelvin has shot himself.
“We entered the bedroom and found Kevin lying on the floor,” Mwangi recounted.
