Questions have been raised in relation to the unsolved death of Joseph Kariuki Wanjiku, a Kenyan Catholic priest who had stayed in a hotel with an unnamed woman.
According to reports, police have opened an inquiry into the incident that occurred on Friday, July 8, 2023, at the Monalisa Hotel Delview in Gatanga, Nairobi. When he suddenly started experiencing health issues, the 43-year-old cleric from St. Peters Ruai allegedly checked in with his 32-year-old lover.
A police report states that Wanjiku became unsteady out of the blue, causing the woman to ask the hotel staff for help. He was driven urgently to Kenol Hospital in Murang’a but was already dead when he got there.
“One Joseph Kariuki Wanjiku aged 43yrs old, a Catholic priest at Archdiocese of Nairobi and a farmer at Mangu area checked in at the said hotel together with his girlfriend who also happens to be his colleague at the workplace in Ruai.
“Then, this morning (Saturday) at around 0800hrs, the priest’s girlfriend notified the hotel management that the boyfriend was dizzy and getting unconscious so that they could rush him to the hospital. They then rushed him to Kenol Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival,” the police report read.
