True Crime Kenya is a narrative podcast about Kenyan crime and justice. Created and narrated by writer D.M. Nur, it launched in September 2023 and is produced with PitchR Media. Episodes weave reporting, court records and broadcast archives into scripted storytelling, with sources credited on air and in episode notes. The show uses “Dunia Ina Mambo” by Just A Band as its theme; artwork and editing are credited to F. Nur.
Season one (2023–2024) revisited cases that stirred national debate, including the killing of medical student Ivy Wangechi, the murder of Dutch retiree Herman Rouwenhorst in Mombasa, the Thika bank heist, BBC project manager Kate Mitchell’s death in Nairobi, and the fatal stabbing of Strathmore graduate Keagan Githua. Season two opened in 2025 with a two‑part reconstruction of Olympic champion Samuel Wanjiru’s death, drawing on news footage and legal filings.
The podcast serves listeners in Kenya and the diaspora who want context, names and timelines rather than rumor. Scripts favour measured pacing, clear explanations of police and court procedure, and a victims‑first tone that avoids sensationalism while maintaining narrative momentum. By stitching together public sources and placing cases in social context, True Crime Kenya functions as both storytelling and civic record—an accessible way to revisit investigations that have tested institutions and captured national attention.
