Murder Ciru

(Listener discretion is always recommended)

Five (5 things I have learned from making and consuming true crime content

Stay safe out there

(This is a true crime podcast. Listener discertion is advised.)

The death of a beautiful young woman raises a pertinent discussion. Everything at this point is allegations, speculations, some informed and others seemingly mean-spirited.

What a strange concept, to export crime. And yet, it happens..

(The original audio was low volume and poor quality. This was a recording issue, due to limited recording equipment, that will not persist in future episodes.

The audio has been replaced with a higher volume file. The quality is not the best but please bear with us. We will do better. Thank you for your feedback concerning this issue.)

On a nondescript Monday in February this year (2023), a woman was shot on a nondescript street in Nairobi. Her name is Mary Lilian Waithira, and she later succumbed to her injuries and died.

The circumstances surrounding her death are still a mystery. Who shot her? Why? Listen in to hear the facts in this bizarre case.

Rip Mary Lilian.

In this one, we talk about the tragic and untimely demise of Brenda Kawira, a young woman with a future full of promise. Kawira is alleged to have died by suicide at an apartment complex in Kasarani, Nairobi, Kenya.

The only witness to this alleged suicide is the boyfriend of Brenda, who is (allegedly) adversely mentioned in a diary entry penned by Kawira shortly preceding her demise, an entry that was seen by Kawira's sister after she died.

Kawira's death is among at least four similar deaths of young people who died (by jumping, falling, or being pushed?) from high rise apartment buildings in the Kasarani area of Nairobi. Is there something in the water? In the air?

Another prominent and disturbing detail in this case is that the family of Brenda Kawira vehemently dispute this "death-by-suicide" narrative, raising suspicion of foul play.

Will they find answers to the questions they have raised?
