Musa Lorot: Small Money, Big Feelings, Grave Consequences

Mary Wanja: A Sick Child, A Mother's Tale, A Grim Discovery

On June 4, 2004, in Ragati Village in Nyeri District, a young mother named Jane Muriruki was the last person seen carrying her sick one-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Mary Wanja. She told neighbors she was taking the child to the hospital — but later returned alone, offering conflicting explanations about where the child had gone. The next day, the child's body was discovered floating in a cattle dip. A postmortem revealed the cause of death was strangulation, not drowning, suggesting the little girl had been killed before her body was discarded. Suspicion quickly turned to the mother, who had been the last known person with the child alive.

Timothy Mwaniki: A Life Ended, A Broken System, A Truth Missing

A Kshs 20 dispute at a small hotel turns deadly. After a brief confrontation over unpaid meat, Timothy leaves Bam Bam Hotel only to be found later with a fatal stab wound to the chest. Police arrest Charles, the meat vendor, but no one ever sees the stabbing, forensic evidence is mishandled, and key witnesses refuse to testify. In court, the prosecution relies on weak circumstantial evidence that fails to meet the standard of proof. In December 2023, Charles is acquitted. This episode examines how investigative failures, missing forensic links, and reasonable doubt shaped a murder case—and leaves the unsettling question: if not Charles, then who killed Timothy?
