An employee working at lawyer Paul Gicheru's residence in Karen, Nairobi has revealed intricate details of the boss's final moments before his demise on Monday, September 26. 

Speaking to Nation, the staff divulged that Gicheru had spent the better part of the day in his quarters in his five-bedroomed house, partaking in his favourite white wine. 

Despite having three guests; his son, Allan, his wife, and his father-in-law, Gicheru spent the day in his bedroom, coming out on one occasion before returning to his room.

"His wife and father-in-law were there, but he spent the day in his bedroom and only came down once,” the employee intimated. 

The source further divulged that the father-in-law left at around 3.30 pm, leaving his wife and his son in the house. 

The employee stated that the wife went to check up on Gicheru at 7.00 pm to ask him if he would take dinner, only to find him with foam in his mouth.

The statement contradicted media reports which stated that the son was the first to stumble upon his father's lifeless body. 

In addition, two police statements contradicted the reports as to who found the body first; either the son or the wife. The first report, filed at the Karen Police Station under OB number 54/26/09/22, indicated that the son found his father's body and informed his mother.

However, a statement released later from the National Police Service revealed that the wife had found Gicheru's body lying on the bed. 

“It emerged at one point at about 3.30 pm that the father-in-law left the premises with the deceased’s driver towards Ngara as the deceased excused himself to go to his bedroom."

"After some time, the wife was concerned about his absence and followed him upstairs only to find him lying on the bed unconscious," read part of the police statement.  

Gicheru's family has urged the police to expedite investigations to unearth the details that led to their kin's demise.

Further, the postmortem of the body was postponed to a later date to accommodate some of the family members who are yet to travel from Eldoret.
