Investigative journalist John-Allan Namu on Saturday, March 4, shared insights behind his eight-episode series that covers some of the most mysterious murders and crimes witnessed in the country.
In a statement shared on his social media, Namu detailed some challenges the team faced as it sought to speak to families and persons of interest in some of the murder cases covered in the Last Door TV series.
The cases included River Yala bodies, Fashion designer Naneu Muthoni and Tecra Muigai - daughter of Nakuru Senator Tabitha Karanja.
He revealed that the production involved a lot of travelling that was at times exhausting.
"We had been through two weeks of back-to-back filming and travel. What is it like getting access to people and to stories? It can be tiring!
"This particular trip- for the eighth episode - took us down a particularly rough stretch of the Nandi escarpment. Harsh beauty, they call it,' Namu stated.
The African Uncensored Chief Executive Officer (CEO) also recounted visiting some of the crime scenes. In particular, he revisited details of a bedsitter in Lang'ata where - Muthoni was allegedly murdered by her boyfriend.
"Every wall in that small bedsitter had blood on it. Every story was hard but this particular scene made everything so visceral," he stated.
Additionally, Namu shared different cultural perspectives he learnt during the coverage expressing that tiling graves were new to him.
"One thing I did learn about burials is how differently everyone does it. I hadn't been to a Giriama funeral before. I was struck by the dancing and singing," the journalist shared.
Further, he noted that they were already preparing for season two, adding that Kenyans had already made suggestions of the content they wanted to be covered.
"We've been getting lots of requests to look into stories for season two. Some we have already researched, others completely new, promising a new adventure for us. After a short break to catch our breath, we will be ready," he stated.
