DCI noted that DJ Brownskin defied summons and was on the run before his arrest on June1, bringing the cat and mouse game to an end.

“Detectives have finally arrested a local DJ who has been on the run after he defied summons by police to record a statement in relation to his wife’s death. Michael Macharia Njiiri aka DJ Brown Skin, was arrested on Thursday night by sleuths based at Kasarani police station, after engaging them in cat and mouse games for the past few weeks.

“Efforts to summon the suspect to shed more light into the incident proved futile, as he remained elusive prompting detectives to launch a manhunt leading to his arrest on Madaraka Day, moments past midnight.”
