Ben Gethi, a top intelligence official who had called in on him that morning, was to be met, Mr. Kariuki had stated in a message he had left with employees before he vanished.
The next day, when he still hadn’t returned, Mrs. Kariuki, his third wife, informed the family, and search teams were dispatched.
The administration revealed that Mr. Kariuki was in Zambia following a contentious exchange of questions in parliament.

The news she had been dreading finally arrived when a journalist informed her that he had heard rumours that JM had been killed.

Mrs. Kariuki later learned at the post-mortem that the discoloration on her husband’s face might have been brought on by acid being thrown on it to obstruct identification of the deceased.
