    Aug 20 2025

    In Part 2 of True Crime Kenya: The Samuel Wanjiru Story, the investigation deepens into the shocking and mysterious death of Kenya’s Olympic champion. Conflicting witness accounts, explosive family disputes, paternity claims, and post-mortem contradictions paint a tangled web of secrets and suspicion. Was it an accident, suicide, or cold-blooded murder? The truth remains as elusive as the man himself.
