According to witnesses, the car was being driven by a lady at the time of the accident. She was driving from Sagana heading to Makutano while the two dead motorists were headed to Sagana. The Star reports that the two deceased were almost joining the highway when the car hit them. The two men fell on one side while the motorbike they were using was thrown in the opposite direction in the 3:00 pm accident.
Despite Jaguar’s assertions that he was driving the car, details regarding the car chassis number SALWA2KE1EA323849 and engine number no: 306DT show that it is owned by Wamuyu Wanjiru Everlyne.Those at the accident scene claim that Jaguar arrived at around 3.30pm on the same day and told onlookers at the accident scene that he was the one driving the vehicle.
According to the publication, eyewitnesses insisted it was the lady who was driving the car. The car was towed to the Sagana police station and the lady and Jaguar left as well.Claims have emerged that the story changed completely thereafter even leading to Mugo’s parents being denied access to the vehicle that killed their son. Jaguar is known for his philanthropic acts. He was a board member at NACADA before he left to pursue his political career.The lady driver remains a mystery.
