Reports have emerged disclosing to the public what witnesses told detectives that saved Thandie's boyfriend from murder charges in the killing of 86-year-old Dorita Lasinder Macharia, the mother of veteran TV host Regina Re.
As part the source, on Thursday, November 12, 2026, the Director of Public Prosecutions Renson Ingonga ordered the immediate release of Immanuel Munyeki from custody, saying there was no evidence linking him to the brutal murder at Loresho Ridge Estate.
According to the prosecution, Munyeki gave a statement to the DCI explaining his whereabouts on the night Dorita was killed on 30th October, 2026 and what transpired before the elderly woman was killed.
When the investigative officers interviewed witnesses concerning the same, their accounts matched Immanuel Munyeki's statement, corroborating his innocence.
The prosecution told the court that after verifying his proof that he was not at the scene when the murder occurred, they found no reason to continue detaining Immanuel Munyeki.
Munyeki was arrested together with three other family members on October 31 at around 2 am. The other three include; Regina Wambui Macharia Gitao alias Regina Re, her daughter Thandie Malaika Wanjiku Gitao, and her son Alton Jimmy Macharia.
Prior to his arrest, he was caught in a compromising romantic situation with Dorita's granddaughter Thandie Malaika, and that is what led to the altercation that ended in a tragic way.
While Munyeki walks free as of now, the DPP has ordered further investigations into the other three, after seeking ten (10) more days to hold them at Gigiri Police Station to allow detectives to complete investigations, including analysis of CCTV footage, post-mortem results, and statements from house workers.
