Police searching for DJ Flex over chilling murder of girlfriend Purity Wangeci Kiringa

Detectives have launched a manhunt for celebrity VDJ Flex who is suspected of murdering his girlfriend and dumping her dismembered body by the roadside in Kiambu.

According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the deceased who was identified as Purity Wangeci Kiringa went to visit her lover-the VDJ on Friday, May13.

An altercation ensued after Wangeci confronted the VDJ, accusing him of being involved in criminal activities away from the glare of the public.

"Preliminary investigations by crime scene detectives who immediately kicked off forensic investigations into the murder established that the deceased left college yesterday, to visit her boyfriend who lives in Kirigiti, Kiambu county.

"According to her friends who were interviewed by the sleuths at the college, Purity and the boyfriend recently had a misunderstanding, after she discovered that he was a thug and confronted him with the facts," read part of the statement released by the DCI on May 14.
