A Nairobi court has issued a summons for Kasarani DCIO Paul Makonge to appear on June 5 regarding the failure to produce a critical police file in the case against DJ Brownskin, alias Michael Macharia Njiiri.
The proceedings took place at Milimani Law Courts before Principal Magistrate Gilbert Shikwe.
DJ Brownskin faces charges of aiding his wife Sharon Njeri’s suicide on July 29, 2022.
When the matter was brought up for hearing on Thursday, it was revealed that the police file was missing, and the investigating officer was not present.
This absence prompted the prosecution to seek an adjournment and request the summons for DCIO Makonge.
“The investigating officer has been transferred, and there is no police file or witness present in court. We seek an adjournment and request summons for the DCIO Kasarani to appear in court,” stated the prosecution.

“I issue orders to summon the DCIO Kasarani to appear in court on June 5 to explain the whereabouts of the police file, failure to which I will issue a warrant of arrest,” ruled Magistrate Shikwe.
Njiiri, who has denied the charges, faces multiple counts including aiding his wife’s suicide, failing to prevent her suicide despite knowing her intentions, and destroying evidence from his phone on June 1, 2023, knowing it would be required in judicial proceedings.
