Revealed: Starlet Wahu Alleged Killer John Matara Began Criminal Activities At KU Apartments
Revelations about murder suspect and extortionist John Ong’oa Matara have continued to unfold days after his arrest for the brutal murder of socialite Starlet Wahu last week.
A caretaker at some apartments near Kenyatta University has unveiled Matara’s year-long reign of criminal activities, leading to his eviction in August last year.
“Tabia yake ilikuwa ni hiyo…yaani alikuwa anabadilisha wasichana frequently,” said the caretaker.
Matara, portraying himself as a Master’s degree student in fine arts at Kenyatta University, rarely left his residence, persistently inviting women daily.
His disturbing pattern involved inviting women over, subjecting them to heinous acts, and confining them for hours; some victims were believed to be university students.
“The first incident ilikuwa March…akaleta msichana ambaye alikuwa mwanafunzi alikuja kawaida kama kumtembelea baadaye akamfungia mchana yote,” the caretaker went on.
In one incident, Matara trapped a student inside his residence for an entire day after initially inviting her casually.

Another chilling episode involved Matara brandishing a knife and then proceeding to commit several extreme sexual violations, with the victim narrowly escaping after she managed to contact her friends who informed the police.
“Wakati nilimanage kuingilia na nyuma nikaingia kwa hiyo nyumba nikatolea huyo msichana vitu zake zilikuwa hapo na enyewe kisu ilikuwa hap…na msichana akasema kwamba alikuwa raped,” he added.
August 2023 marked the end of Matara’s stay at the apartments, but his crimes only surfaced last week.
It has now been revealed that Matara was a serial offender who worked in cohorts with other gang members to prey on innocent ladies through dating apps, but would later assault and extort money from his female victims.
Over 10 cases have so far been reported across different police stations in the Nairobi region, with law enforcement still in the process of compiling more.
