A Lamu court has allowed police to detain Omar Lali, the boyfriend of deceased Keroche Breweries Director of Innovations and Strategy, Tecra Muigai.
Lali, who was arrested by homicide detectives following the passing of Tecra, will be held at Lamu Police Station for 21 days pending completion of investigations into circumstances leading to her death.
The order was issued on Tuesday, May 5th, after Lali was arraigned before Lamu Principal Magistrate Allan Temba.
Detectives apprehended Lali after he allegedly gave two conflicting accounts of the events leading to Tecra’s death, according to reports. He first told investigators that Tecra tumbled down the stairs but later changed his statement to say she slipped in the bathroom.
The two accounts were inconsistent with the version given by responders who rushed Tecra to hospital. A friend of Tecra is said to have found her lying unconscious at the house with blood was oozing from her mouth.
“It was on Tuesday last week when one of our friends found her in a coma in the house. By that time, her boyfriend was still asleep in the house. We had to wake him up. He was in shock after finding out that she was immobile,” a friend of Tecra told Daily Nation.
She was first taken to a local health facility before her mother sent a private helicopter to pick her from Manda Airport and airlift her to Nairobi for specialized treatment.
Sadly, Tecra succumbed to her injuries while receiving treatment at a Nairobi hospital on Saturday, May 2nd.
Lali was with Tecra when the incident happened at a holiday home they were living together in Lamu Island on Tuesday, April 28th.
The two had dated for about one year but Tecra’s mother was allegedly opposed to the relationship, Daily Nation reported.
Tecra is the daughter of Keroche Breweries Chairman Joseph Karanja and CEO Tabitha Karanja.

Kenya is suffering from a major shortage of men. Over one million women are not able to find male suitors numerically as the last censors showed.
She just decided to hold onto any man to satisfy her needs after looking fo “Mr right” without much success.
But, apparently she had her own personal issueS as can be attested by her severe love for alcoholic beverages. Alcoholism is disease but it’s treatable!
Ok. Men…I have a kweshon?…
Ok. Men…I have a kweshon? Kwani hii midlife crisis…is it not in the 40’s…why this fool be up in mid-50’s messing with this young princess? He should have stayed awake to help her. She probably was drunk and he being irresponsible snoring away after letting her drink one too many. If you must love a lady half your age, please play both roles well…daddy and bf. Protect her. Even if he is not guilty, he should be slapped a few slaps. And the Way Tabitha works hard to stay afloat even when our political conmen try to shut Keroche down. No parent should have to go thru this. This man is close to Mrs. Karanja’s age.

Age is never a factor in loving someone as long as she is of age and not a minor! As a matter of fact, women are more attracted to much older men as they provide security, tender love and a bountiful supply of spoiling! So the age of the guy is a none issue if he had been mature and responsible. NB: At least you respect Mrs Karanja (a Kikuyu) for her hard work! You must be going through some kind of revival! We may kind of connect you up with a mighty Kikuyu man over time!

Beach boys are called beach boys for the simple reason they hang around the beach selling trinkets and drugs to tourists.
Its impossible to outwit a beach boy. In fact the minute you accept to talk to them they’ll sweet talk you out of your bubble.

I am confused. Is the Photo above of Tecra and Lali (the suspect)? If it is then (by his Face and Beards) he is Obviously guilty. He looks a Thug to me.

This dude should be indicted for sex murder too, it’s quite obvious they were in sex adventure which went wrong.
To all those who write these…
To all those who write these unsightly comments about Omar after Tecra’s death:
You should all be ashamed of yourself. How little respect do you have for the deceased. The choice of her love and her life. The behavior of her parents is particularly bad, they express their “grief” with ugly power behavior and locked up their daughter’s unaccepted man.
And what does love have to do with money, age, looks, tribal status or reputation? – I met Omar as one of the nicest and most charming men. He introduced me to Tecra as his wife. I can very well imagine what his wife found in him. Whatever happened, nobody was there and knows it. – I apologize for telling you my opinion, since I’m “only” a Mzungu wa kike. RIP Tecra.
Circumstantial evidence by…
Circumstantial evidence by the sound of it. The Police seem to be looking for a scapegoat. Blood oozing from her mouth? Did she ingest something? Weather the mother liked the dude or not is irrelevant. A lot of people are disliked by their in-laws especially if merging rich to poor, or (like in this case) religions… Good luck to the family and more to the dude, I dare say.
She was obviously well off…
She was obviously well off coming from such a family. People see beauty and love in strange places. Do not judge.
