CCTV footage has surfaced, revealing details of an incident where businessman Elias Njeru allegedly stabbed Florence Wanjiku 18 times.
The footage captures events from the moment Wanjiku left the parking lot of an apartment block on Thursday night until the following morning.
At 11:19 p.m., Wanjiku is seen leaving the apartment in her Toyota Probox. Ten minutes later, Njeru arrives in his Toyota Prado and speaks briefly with the night guard.
Wanjiku returns at 11:32 p.m., parking next to Njeru’s vehicle. Moments later, she reverses her car and hits Njeru’s Prado twice, prompting him to confront her.
In an attempt to reverse again, Wanjiku’s car collides with a wall. The night guard rushes to assist, trying to open the co-driver’s door.
At 11:35 p.m., Njeru moves to his Prado, places something in the boot, and drives away. CCTV footage shows what appear to be stains on his shirt.

Legal action and ongoing investigations
Elias Njeru surrendered to the authorities on Monday after being in hiding for two days. He was arraigned in court and released on a Sh200,000 cash bail. The case is set for mention on December 9, 2024.
Although the CCTV footage provides crucial insights into the timeline of events, the lack of audio leaves unanswered questions about the confrontation and what led to the violent act. Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
