Man suspected of killing June Jerop Kangogo reveals she owed him 1 million Kshs
Kenya has been experiencing a spate of domestic disturbance cases with some turning fatal and this is something that has not been lost on us as a society. The most recent case involved June Jerop Kangogo who was found murdered after she had told her friends that she would be going for a coffee date before her remains turned up.
Mr Jesse Wafula Walukha was arrested on suspicion of being her alleged killer and her boyfriend, the man whom she had gone to meet before she turned up dead. Police revealed that they suspected that after he had done the deed, he had fled to Western Kenya but forensic evidence (blood in his car) linked him to the crime.
He has since been arraigned in court for the murder of June Jerop Kangongo and in documents filed at the High Court in Nairobi, Bwana Walukha revealed he was in business with the deceased as her partner and she owed him a debt of Sh1 million.

According to him, she was living beyond her means and even her colleagues were questioning the source of her lifestyle and her car because despite her working as an accountant at the National Industrial Training Authority (Nita), her lifestyle was suspect.
Bwana Walukha denied being the man she met. He said he had nothing to hide about the nature of his dealings with June Jerop Kangongo who was also an MBA student at Kenyatta University.

He added that he and Kangogo were in business and she would use his company to apply for tenders in the organisation she was working at.
“The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Inspector-General of Police have been able to verify this position owing to the huge transactions that have been lifted from Kangogo’s phone records.”

“I am also in the business of selling salvaged cars and had sold to Kangogo her motor vehicle. At the time of her passing, she still owed me about Sh1 million which she was still paying. As such the motor vehicle is still in my name,” says Mr Walukha in a petition filed in court by his lawyer John Swaka.
“Kangogo asked me to have the lease put in my name so that she could escape any queries being asked at work since she was earning Sh48,000 and her monthly rent was Sh30,000. The audit at her place of work would have raised eyebrows on this kind of arrangement,” he narrates in the affidavit.
