The murder trial of Nairobi socialite Starlet Wahu on January 3, 2024, intensified at the High Court in Milimani as four key witnesses took the stand, tightening the noose around John Matara, the prime suspect in the crime.
The prosecution, led by Della Wilbey, Sarah Ogweno and Peris Maina, lined up a clinical officer, a police forensic analyst, and two security guards whose testimonies painted a chilling sequence of events on the night Wahu was killed at Papino Apartments, South B.
