Kenyan Hip-Hop rapper has found himself at the centre of murder crime after a teenager in Nairobi’s Woodley estate died.
Octopizzo is alleged to have beaten Abom ,a teenager who lives on the same apartment after finding him in his house uninvited.
In a bid to rescue himself from the violent Octopizzo , Abom ran away to his home which is located to the fourth floor but it is alleged Octopizzo picked a panga,followed him and threatened to use it to take Abom’s life.
According to witnesses, who are also residents of Newbury court in the estate, Kenneth fled as Octopizzo pursued him.
“He was immediately told to stop(Octopizzo) and told that Kenneth was a resident,” said Anthony Wanga, a neighbour.
His brother, Paul Abom, said Kenneth dashed to the bathroom to clean himself up and the next thing they knew he had fallen through the window to the ground.
“He was rushed to Nairobi Women’s Hospital and then referred to Kenyatta National Hospital where doctors promised that he would recover,” Paul said.
His father, Aggrey Abom, said Kenneth looked well on Friday and seemed to be recovering, but on Saturday at around 10am, he died.
“No, I did not hit the boy. His father was the first person I talked to after the incident. I did not know what he came to do in my house. An hour later, we heard that the boy dropped from the fourth floor,” Octopizzo said.
Kenneths’ father said he had a cut on the right side of his forehead and they suspected he might have been hit with a blunt object.
He said Octopizzo, being a celebrity who many youths look up to, and being new in the neighborhood, could have attracted Kenneth’s curiosity.
Octopizzo has however denied hitting the boy and said he did not know him or anything about him.
The father said they were yet to report the matter, but Octopizzo said police visited and inspected the area.
