TPF star and Gospel singer Ruth Matete quized by DCI over husband’s death
The 2012 Tusker Project Fame star Ruth Matete Amoyi on Thursday recorded a statement with detectives over the death of her Nigerian husband Beloved John Apewajoye.
Pastor Beloved John Apewajoye, died on April 11, two weeks after he suffered burn wounds sustained at their Great Wall Gardens Estate home in Athi River, Machakos County.
Ruth Matete was summoned by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officers after a video from Pastor John’s manager one Mr Jesse went viral.
In the video, Jesse asked some very tough questions prompting Kenyans and Nigerians to exert oressure on DCI to take up the matter.
Ruth Matete led detectives, forensic experts, Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority officials and her family lawyer, Mr Robert Odanga, to her house where samples and exhibits were collected.
According to Matete, Apewajoye, was only wearing a pair of trousers, when the accident occured.
Apewajoye was then taken to Shallom Hospital, where he stayed briefly before he was transferred to Bellevue South Hospital and admitted to the high dependency unit.
On April 5, he developed complications and was referred to Kenyatta National Hospital, where a nurse questioned Bellevue’s decision to admit a burns patient for a week knowing well that the hospital did not have a burns unit.
The pastor stayed for a week at KNH before succumbing to his injuries on April 11 at 8.30pm.
The Nigerian Embassy is still holding the body at KNH mortuary awaiting a postmoterm report to ascertain the exact cause of death
