Fresh details have emerged in the murder investigation of Sheila “Wegesha” Odoyo whose body was discovered at her home in Athi River, Machakos County on Thursday May 9, 2024.
Reports now indicate that the deceased’s husband, Jackson Bollo Odoyo, who is being treated as a person of interest in the case, disappeared but his last phone signal has since been traced by detectives handling the matter.
Wegesha’s husband is reported to have fled their home at 1:00 pm on Thursday shortly before her body was found lying in a pool of blood with deep cuts.
According to their eldest daughter Linda Okinyi, Wegesha’s husband is said to have left the home in his Mitsubishi Outlander car which was later discovered around the Kencom area in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD).
Police probing the case believe the suspect could have switched vehicles before fleeing Nairobi as his last phone signal has since been traced to Narok County.
The husband left the car keys and three bags in the vehicle. Police officers have taken the items as evidence and towed the vehicle to Athi River Police Station.
“We are tracking him. His last phone signal was recorded in Narok at 6:26 am (May 9, 2024) before his phone went off,” a police officer probing the case informed the press.
Before death struck, Sheila “Wegesha” Odoyo was known for her enthralling antics in gyrating her hips during the peak of ohangla dances. A neighbour who spoke on condition of anonymity said her hip-gyrating antics made her famous in ohangla live-music circles and attracted many amorous suitors who didn’t know she was married.
Another neighbor revealed that Wegesha and her husband owned an entertainment joint in Nairobi’s Umoja estate.
“Alikuwa anaweka live band sana hapa anaita wasanii wa Ohangla wanakuja…alikuwa mtu mlively sana,” the neighbour familiar with the couple’s business interests revealed.
She loved life and was a popular figure among Ohangla enthusiasts, gracing entertainment spots across the city where she show-cased her dancing skills on stage.
Jackson is said to be owning an academy in Migori County.
A spot check on social media reveals the couple sharing photos and videos of happy times with Jackson holding her dearly in a number of photos.
Sheila’s zest for life is evident in the photos and videos.
