DJ Joe Mfalme and five others freed in the murder of a DCI detective, set to be a state witnesses.
Renowned DJ Joe Mfalme and five others have been freed from accusations of killing a police officer.
Mfalme was freed along with two of his staff and three police officers after the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) informed the court that only Allan Ochieng will face charges.
They were all under investigation for the death of Kabete DCI officer Felix Kintos, but the prosecution says only Ochieng has been found culpable.
Mfalme, speaking after the decision, expressed his relief, stating, “I am grateful for the outcome and for the faith that justice has been served. This has been a challenging time for all of us, and I appreciate the support we have received.”
The news comes following a letter from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) dated April 5, 2024, advising that Mfalme and the others be considered as state witnesses in the murder case.
This development was revealed during a court mention on April 8.

Earlier, a court ruling on March 25 had directed DJ Joe Mfalme and his associates to be detained for 14 days to facilitate further investigation.
However, the ODPP said DJ Mfalme’s bouncer, Allan Ochieng, would be charged with the murder of the police officer.
Mfalme, his bouncer, driver, and photographer were arrested on 16 March for allegedly assaulting the DCI officer at Kikuyu Market.
The officer reportedly rammed the DJ’s car from behind before being assaulted over the incident.
It is also alleged that three police officers arrived at the scene, arrested the DCI officer, and took him to Kikuyu Police Station, where DJ Mfalme and his team joined but were later allowed to leave without recording a statement.
The detective complained of abdominal pains and was first taken to Langata Hospital before being transferred to Nairobi West Hospital, where he died on Friday.
