Wanjaro death


Disappeared Kikuyu musician has been found dead and his body floating at the crocodile prone Masinga dam in Embu County.


Edward Irungu Njaro alias Wanjaro Junior is perceived to have committed suicide by jumping into the dam.


Wanjaro who went missing on July 14 from his Kasarani home is said to have sent a message showing that he was in many debts.


“When I go missing, don’t waste a lot of time looking for me. My body will be in Sagana River,” a message he allegedly sent read in part.


His vehicle was discovered in Kamweri village near River Tana.

Villagers so the body and reported the event at Makutano Police Station.



The Police officers transferred the body to Embu Referral Hospital mortuary.


“Residents going about their businesses saw the dead man in the dam and notified the Police Officers who responded fast and retrieved his body,” Mbeere South police boss Gregory Mutiso told the Nation.


Mr Mutiso said the police are reliably informed that Wanjaro was struggling to settle Sh700,000 debt.


“We have reliably learnt that the victim had been struggling to repay the loan and it is likely he took his life due to depression,” he told the daily.
