DJ Brownskin, identified as Michael Macharia Njiiri, was arrested from his Garden Estate home in Kasarani, Nairobi for investigation of aiding suicide.
Brownskin is being investigated for the offense in connection with the death of his wife, Sharon Njeri, 24, who died in July, last year.
His wife was seen consuming poison in a video that he recorded as he cheered her on. The detective said that Brownskin failed to prevent the commission of the said offense which led to Njeri’s death.
The detectives picked him up from a popular club in the Kasarani area on Thursday. And he is currently in custody at the Kasarani Police Station.
Police obtained an order from the Makadara magistrate’s court to hold him for seven days to complete investigations.
The police sought a 14-day remand, but the magistrate only granted them seven days.
Police said that Brownskin had been summoned three times by the DCI to appear and shed light on the matter but he refused and evaded police until he was traced and arrested.
The detective said he needed time to locate the parents of the deceased and record their statements on the incident.
He said Njiiri was a flight risk as he had been on the run from January 2023 to June 1. He also said that investigators needed more time to gather vital evidence, which they had not gotten.
