It has now emerged that the Nairobi Hospital Director Dr Job Obwaka had steamy session with Beatrice Wangari before he collapsed and died.
On Monday Directorate of Criminal Investigations revealed that Wangari was his se-cret long-term lover, and that they shared a meal and became intimate hours before he died on Friday.
The revelations were made at Kib-era High Court, where the Directo-rate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) filed an urgent application seeking to detain Beatrice Wangari for 14 days as investigators pursue what they now believe could be a poison-ing case.
In a dramatic twist, Wangari’s lawyer, Levi Munyeri, confirmed the romantic relationship, noting that the affair was known even to Dr Ob-waka’s family.
According to an affidavit filed by Sergeant Rhoda Nzioka of the Hom icide Investigations Department. the late Nairobi Hospital board chair drove himself from Nairobi to Kitengela on Friday afternoon to visit Wangari at her Milimani resi-dence.
At about 1.05pm. court papers state that the deceased parked his. black Mercedes-Benz, registration number KCM 222X, at the basement of OBC Mall in Kitengela.
Wangari then arrived driving her Volkswagen Tiguan, registration number KCQ 902T, collected the 79-year-old doctor from the mall, and proceeded to her home at Olive Court in Milimani.
What happened inside the house over the next few hours is now cen-tral to investigations.
The affidavit gives a detailed account of events leading to the doc tor’s death. It states that once in-side the house, Wangari prepared a meal, which the deceased ate.
He then requested to rest in the master bedroom, after which she joined him and they became intimate.
Shortly afterwards, Dr Obwaka’s condition reportedly deteriorated suddenly.
“The deceased developed complications, and Wangari sought help from her neighbour, Mr Shad-rack Korir, who accompanied her to the house and found the deceased lying supine on the bed, unresponsive, he was dressed in a white vest and black trousers, with his eyes closed.” Ser-geant Nzioka stated.
