Kenyan gospel singer Ruth Matete has been quizzed over her Nigerian husband, BelovedJohn Apewajoye’s death days after she announced that he died from injuries he sustained from a gas explosion accident at their home earlier this month.
Daily Nation reported that the Gospel artiste and 2012 Tusker Project Fame star recorded a statement with detectives over the death of her Nigerian husband John Apewajoye on Thursday April 16.
Pastor 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.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) launched an investigation after one Jesse McJessy who claims to be a friend and manager to the deceased, accused the singer of allegedly having a hand in her husband’s death.
McJessy had accused Matete of being psychotic, adding that she had previously stabbed her husband at least three times. The damning video was accompanied by audio files recording during one of the couple’s alleged nasty fights in which Ruth stabbed her husband and he retaliated.
He said in a viral video:
“BelovedJohn’s marriage was never rosy. Ruth Matete you can tell the whole world the truth. You were very violent, you have stabbed him not once, not twice, not thrice.
“The last time you tried to kill Belovedjohn, I was there in Athi River in Greatwall Gardens. You guys had a fight and you almost killed him.”
McJessy also revealed that Matete did not inform BelovedJohn’s family in Nigeria about the explosion and neither did she give accurate information about her status in the hospital.
Here is the video;
Following the mixed reactions the video elicited, Ms Matete was summoned by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officers.
