Hours After suspect Elias Njau surrendered himself to the police, a CCTV Footage has emerged shedding light on what might have transpired between him and his partner Florence wanjiku.
In the footage dated November 21, the victim who is Florence is seen next to the couple’s company vehicle talking to a security guard.
The footage then cuts to the parking area of a building, where Njeru is seen arriving in a white Toyota Prado. He is then seen engaging with a security guard briefly before things take an unexpected turn.
From a different angle of the CCTV footage, one of the company’s cars – a Toyota Succeed- emerges and rams onto the rear side of Njeru’s car. This act incenses Njeru, who springs on the driver of the other car in an attempt to stop them.
The two have a brief physical altercation before the driver of the Succeed attempts to reverse the car with the driver’s door open and Njeru beside it.
The pastor is moreover seen jogging towards the car where he has a brief engagement with the driver before walking back to his car and driving away.
Footage ends with the Succeed driver still in the car, which was badly damaged on the front side as a result of hitting Njeru’s car.
While narrating the incident, Wanjiku noted that a conversation about their business and personal issues ultimately led to the brutal attack.
She had also claimed that she had made attempts to end their turbulent relationship, but Njeru was not keen on a separation.
Pastor Njeru’s lawyer Gakuhi Chege revealed on Monday that the suspect presented himself to authorities willingly and was ready and willing to cooperate with the police.
“We wish to assure the members of the public that the suspect who has been named in the incident is being detained awaiting investigations. He is ready and willing to cooperate with authorities to determine the events which happened on November 21.’’
Elias Njau, a pastor at JCM church is accused of attempted murder.He allegedly stabbed his partner Florence Wanjiku multiple times using a knife.
The incident has since sparked attention, with figures including Kirinyaga governor Anne Waiguru condemning Njeru’s acts amid growing concern over the rising cases of femicide in the country.
