DJ Brownskin charged with aiding wife's suicide

Michael Macharia Njiri alias Dj Brownskin has been charged with aiding suicide contrary to section 225 (b) of the penal code

It is alleged that on July 29, 2022, at Kariobangi South, Buruburu sub-county he counseled Sharon Njeri Mwangi to kill herself.

In the second count, Brownskin is charged with neglect to prevent a felony, where he “failed to use all reasonable cause to prevent the suicide."

The DJ is also charged with destroying evidence, where he is alleged to have “knowing that his mobile phone with SIM card number 07**** which was in his possession might be required in evidence in a judicial proceeding willfully removed it with intent to prevent being used in evidence.”

Brownskin pleaded not guilty to the charges and has been detained for three days, pending a probation report. 

The accused was arrested on June 1, 2023, in connection with his late wife’s death. 

On June 4, DCI said the DJ was arrested after defying summons by police to record a statement in relation to his wife’s death.
