The 32-year-old journalist passed away at an entertainment venue along Mirema Drive, leaving his family devastated and searching for answers.
How did Amos Maina’s wife find his body?
His grieving wife, Regina Maina, tearfully recounted her last moments with her husband, explaining that he had left home on that fateful Sunday at 4 pm.
She expected him to return that same evening, only to be struck with the devastating news a few hours later that he was dead.
“He was such a good man, and I feel that something is terribly wrong. When I arrived, I found him sitting in a chair at the bar. He was missing one shoe, and he appeared unconscious. His eyes were closed, and he looked as though he was asleep, but he wasn’t responding to anything,” Regina recalled, her voice breaking.
The young widow explained that they insisted on viewing the CCTV footage from the venue in hopes of uncovering any details that might explain what happened to her husband.
According to Regina, the venue owner initially refused to provide the footage but later offered them the wrong password when they insisted.
Peter Maina, Amos’s brother, called for justice and speedy investigations to find whoever was responsible for his demise.
“When I arrived, I found him slumped at the bar with his head resting on the table and his hands hanging down. I tried to wake him, even pouring water on him, but he didn’t respond.”

What caused Amos Maina’s death?
A post-mortem conducted at the Kenyatta University Teaching and Referral Hospital suggested that Amos may have been poisoned, which led to his death.
It also revealed that the cause of death was Acute Hemorrhagic Gastritis.
The owner of the entertainment venue, in a report by KTN News, insisted that although Amos was a regular patron at her establishment, the drink that killed him did not come from her bar.
“Would I harm my own customer? In fact, if he missed coming for three days, I would call him and check if everything was okay. He was a good customer, and we always appreciated his business,” she said.
In the wake of this tragic incident, detectives from the directorate of criminal investigations have launched an inquiry to uncover the truth behind the mysterious death of the journalist.
