Appearing before Milimani Magistrate Rose Ndumbi on Monday, August 11, 2025, Fatxo’s legal team revealed the chilling statement while cross-examining Samuel Muchoki, also known as Samidoh, who had just tendered his testimony to the court.Led by lawyer Duncan Okatch, the team put Samidoh to task to explain if he was aware that his deceased nephew was suicidal, and that he had attempted suicide years before his death.
“Do you know that the deceased, who is your nephew, attempted suicide in 2020/2021?” lawyer Okatch asked Samidoh.
In his reply, the celebrated Mugithi singer Samidoh said that he was not aware of any attempted suicide by Jeff at all.
Further, they told the court that the late Mwathi was struggling in life, and he lived a stressful and straining life.
DJ Fatxo’s lawyer questioned Samidoh on whether he was aware that the separation of Jeff’s parents had taken toll on him, affecting his life in a big way.
“Will it surprise you that Jeff had indicated the separation of his parents affected him?” lawyer Okatch asked Samidoh.
Samidoh told the court that he was not aware of the said issue.
The defense team further revealed that on his last day, Jeff begged for Ksh200 for fare to go get an interior job.
Additionally, they told the court that on the same day as they were moving from one joint to another, Jeff begged for Ksh500 to pay for taxi.
It also emerged that the late Mwathi had closed down his business to go back to school, but later dropped out of school.
However, Samidoh told the court that he was not aware that his late nephew had dropped out of college.
“This boy was going through hell,” lawyer Okatch added.
Notably, they informed the court that before his death, the late Mwathi had been drinking, and on that particular day, he drank from the afternoon and ended up mixing different types of alcohol.
The defense team told the court that despite the known Jeff’s girlfriend by the name Faith, prior to his death, he was accompanied by another lady whom they also referred to as his girlfriend, but was later picked up by another man.
According to DJ Fatxo’s lawyers, the lady was picked up by a man by the name Karis, who drove a big car, and drove off with her, leaving the deceased devastated.
“On that particular evening, there was another lady called Wanjiru Maina, and Karis came with a V8 and took this girlfriend from him and actually drove to Quiver, and your cousin was not happy, it is expressed here he was not happy,” the defense lawyer stated.
