Kiambu three: The rise and fall of close friends tied in triangle of death

The saga of three Kiambu friends who rose from  obscurity to fame only to collectively run into death and calamity has left tongues wagging as people try to make sense of their misfortunes. The story of Leonard Kanari, Joseph Kori and Jonathan Mukundi is fascinating. Rich and young, they loved the fast lane. But controversy seems to dog the lives of these three close friends.

Before making it big, Kanari, Kori and Mukundi were wallowing in poverty; theirs was a hand to mouth affair as they hustled until they hit the jackpot. But with their unexpected success came trouble and tears. Conspiracy theories abound that Kanari, Kori and Mukundi authored their own tribulations in a whirlwind of pleasure, women and money. Indeed, their misfortunes could even be linked to black magic.
