Detectives in Nairobi have reportedly launched an investigation into the death of a Catholic Priest who died hours after checking into a lodging with his girlfriend.
The deceased has been identified as Joseph Kariuki Wanjiku, a 43-year-old priest from St. Peters Ruai. He checked into Monalisa Hotel Delview in Gatanga on Friday, July 8, 2023, alongside a 32-year-old female.
A Police report states that Wanjiku became unsteady out of the blue, causing the woman to ask the hotel staff for help. He was driven urgently to Kenol Hospital in Murang’a but was already dead when he got there.
“One Joseph Kariuki Wanjiku aged 43yrs old, a Catholic priest at Archdiocese of Nairobi and a farmer at Mangu area checked in at the said hotel together with his girlfriend who also happens to be his colleague at the workplace in Ruai.
“Then, this morning (Saturday) at around 0800hrs, the priest’s girlfriend notified the hotel management that the boyfriend was dizzy and getting unconscious so that they could rush him to the hospital. They then rushed him to Kenol Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival,” the police report read.
The sudden demise has raised suspicions, leading authorities to launch an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
