Case Nº 1998-0711 · Nairobi
The Vigil at Karura House
Nairobi, Saturday 11 July 1998. Venture investor Charles Karura was found dead in the study of his residence at 22:47 by the house help, roughly forty minutes after a planned blackout cut power to the whole street for scheduled maintenance. On his desk: a flask of chai, still warm, and a signed term sheet that would have diluted three of his four co-founders at Meridian Holdings to near-nothing. The window was open. Rain had fallen since nine. There are no visible wounds; the doctor suspects poisoning. Everyone at the vigil — an impromptu gathering of partners and family earlier that evening — had access to the kitchen, where the chai was prepared. You are the detectives. Work the board.
