On April 3 2024, Esther Wanjiku walked into a showroom in Mombasa ready to buy their 1st car with her boyfriend.
The 2 were armed with hard cash but unbeknownst to them, 3 men had been trailing them ready to make the man pay for what he had done to get this cash
A THREAD🧵
So as the couple negotiated prices thru a broker friend they had tagged along in this trip, the 3 unknown men approached & gave em an offer they couldn't refuse.
This offer convinced em to follow the men to another yard oblivious that they were walking to their death beds.
As soon as the 3 stepped out of the showroom, men laying in wait quickly bundled them into a waiting car that drove off to an undisclosed location
Next place they were found was in Nairobi with their bodies scattered and eyes gogged out. Reason being ? Well, let me tell you.
Esther Wanjiku Karuri was the apple of the eye of a street hustler called Fredrick Kopo Otieno.
These two Gen Zs had found love in each other as young adults after growing up together as neighbors in Huruma Estate.
Fredrick aka Frik was a promising footballer but after failing to go pro, he had decided to give up the sport for crime.
This had not been his wish but having cast all his eggs in the football basket unsuccessfully, he had been left with limited options.
Either to join the Mjengo sector or any other hustle that would pay him enough to fulfill his youthful dream of looking fresh & fly like his peers who lived a life of Reggae and beautiful women.
Tbh, Mjengo was not an option & since no hustle was forthcoming mans joined crime.
So with birds of the same feather, he started going to CBD to snatch phones from innocent Kenyans before graduating to a more lucrative vice of Armed Robbery.
This vice gave him enough money to party almost every other day, a habit that made him cross paths again with Esther
Esther at the time was selling 2nd hand wigs at a friends shop in Dandora.
She had been blessed with a kid after a failed highschool love and this had forced her to hustle here to source money for raising her young daughter..
However, this job barely paid her bills leave alone quench her desires.
U see despite being a mom, Bobo was a young babe whose flame of youthfulness had not been dimmed.She still wanted to enjoy listening to Reggae at parties and smoking reefer like most 23year olds...
But financial struggles could not let this happen.
So to solve this problem, she decided to kill two birds with one stone like her pals and with their guidance started looking for sponsors who would finance both her life and pleasures b/c body yake ni fire si fire ?.
Together with her besties she started hanging around popular joints in Nairobi ready to bait unsuspecting men who just wanted to have a good time.
After a few successful trials, baby girl graduated to the big league where she'd now rob you after you got drunk stupor..
A vice that led to her first public expose in a popular Eastlands group where she was exposed for washing clean the Mpesa account of a young sponsor who had spent the night buying her drinks with the hope of seeing her Great Rift Valley but ended up seeing darkness...
Nonetheless, this expose did not scare her because the law was not involved.
She continued with her hustle and it's during on of this nights at a club that she met Frik who had come to enjoy the proceeds of his magnetic hands.
The 2 had lost contact during highschool but after meeting here, Frik rekindled the lost relation after seeing how beautiful Essie had become.
He quickly fell head over heels for her after the party and a few texts here and there, they started dating.
Esther fell for Frik b/c despite being young, mans was moneyed which meant he could provide everything she needed.
Moreover, he had also expressed his love for her despite having another man's child, sth that warmed her heart to a point of wearing his blings.
Having being crowned the king of her heart, Frik decided to work harder to be able to maintain his queen.
Eyeing better killings, mans moved his robbery operations to Eastleigh, the business capital of Eastlands, a decision that up to date seems to be his worst ever.
After scanning for a potential victim in March 2024, Frik zeroed in on a cooking oil businessman called Adan Ali.
Mr Ali used to deposit his cash sales everyday at a bank in BBS Mall, so Frik knew any interception of this activity would make them rich.
So on March 30 2024, Frik woke up having made the decision that today was MATCHDAY.
As usual, he called up his getaway driver and the 2 lay in wait for Ali to make the move which he did at approx 3PM by also boarding a bike to go deposit the money throwing Frik into action
While riding a motorbike, Frik intercepted the businessman, shot him with his hired gun and snatched a bag of money he was carrying.
Quickly as they came, they fled the scene Ksh 4 million richer, leaving the whole Somali community in shock..
This loot is what made Frik lose his head because he had never touched such a huge amount of money esp in dollars.
Many ideas started filling his head and before he could settle on anything, he decided to buy a car, forgetting that he had done a terible mistake during operation.
This mistake was shooting the victim with a gun hired from a rogue cop which meant that when the bullet was removed, deep ballistics would trace it back to the rogue cop, sth that was bad for business.
So for this mistake, he was snitched on
Na as he convinced his friend Mr Jaylan Kibe who was a car broker to accompany him to Mombasa to help buy a car, detectives on the other hand started preparing the rod that would teach him a lesson.
After convincing Jaylan with a handsome consultation cut,
Frik then broke the good news to Esther that not only were they millionaires now but also he wanted her to accompany him as he went to make his big boy purchase in Msa
Without much thought, Essie agrewd to the trip not knowing that they'd travel back lifeless.
The 3 friends travelled to Coasto with hopes of a pregnant mom heading to deliver but sadly, they didn't live them.
They were abducted right outside the showroom and were tortured to death according to people who viewed their bodies at the morgue.
Who picked them in Mombasa, nobody knows but Missing Voices Kenya reports it's cops.
Meanwhile,what do you think happened to the money coz it's wasn't returned ? Btw, if you love our crime stories and would love to support them, you can buy a coffee via 0719618489

Multiple victims across Nairobi & its environs have come forward to expose what they describe as a sustained and highly coordinated fraud scheme linked to Loise Nyambura.
THREAD🧵
Loise is accused of persistently targeting professionals & well-connected figures thru emotionally charged financial appeals while falsely presenting herself as a parliamentary staff member.

THE TUJU CASE: When Narrative Attempts to Replace the Record
Here is a quintessential example of a strongly worded analysis that is emotionally persuasive but anchored more on assertion than on what was actually placed before Courts of Law. 🧵
Framing this dispute as a “corporate heist disguised as a judgment” is precisely where emotion begins to overrun fact.
One must soberly ask whether it is possible that courts in England & Kenya could all miss the fundamentals that are now being “discovered” on social media
What we are seeing in many of these posts is what James Orengo, SC once described as a mélange, a mixture of many ingredients that appears rich but carries very little nutritional value.
The danger with such a mélange is that when assertions are repeated long enough they begin
