While speaking in an interview on Friday, the father, Njaro Wairatu, explained that he had refused to bury the body until he finds the truth on what he believes to be a murder cover-up.
According to the father, the investigators had abandoned the cases and he is yet to be summoned by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to record a statement regarding the death.
"Investigators have taken advantage of my poverty to treat my assertions as creations of a mad man. I will, in turn not bury him. Let his killers bury him. I won't use my land to cover the truth.
"(Burying him is) tantamount to burying the raw truth that my son was murdered," stated the father.
Mr. Wairatu has publicly refused to accept a police report that attached his son's death to suicide noting that the singer had contacted him and told him that he had been captured before his phone went silent.
A different side of the story, however, indicates that singer Wanjaro drove himself to Masinga Dam and texted his friends about his intention to commit suicide.
A phone found in his car showed that he owed the cartel a total of Ksh 750,000.
The musician and his body were later found floating in the Masinga Hydroelectric Power Station’s dam on the boundary between Embu and Machakos counties.
