Beautiful Photos of Former KTN Presenter Who Was Arrested in Nairobi Over Her Mother’s Murder

Photos have emerged of former television presenter and actress Regina Re following her arrest over the death of her 86-year-old mother at their family residence in Nairobi.

Regina Re, whose official name is Regina Wambui Gitau, previously presented the popular television game show Who’s Smarter Now? on Kenya Television Network (KTN).She is among three family members whom prosecutors want to remain in police custody for an additional 10 days as detectives continue probing the circumstances surrounding her mother’s death.

The other two suspects are Regina’s daughter, Thandie Malaika Wanjiku Gitao, and her brother, Jimmy Macharia.

Meanwhile, investigators have announced plans to release Immanuel Walgwe Munyeki, who was Thandie’s boyfriend, after witness accounts reportedly confirmed the information he provided during questioning.

Dorita Lasinder Macharia was discovered dead inside her house at Loresho Ridge Estate in Nairobi on the night of October 30, 2026.

Initial investigations pointed to a family disagreement that allegedly occurred before her death.According to information presented in court, the incident reportedly began when Dorita found her granddaughter in a compromising situation with her boyfriend inside her bedroom.

The discovery is said to have upset the elderly woman, who ordered Thandie to move out of the house and return the room keys. She also instructed other visitors who were at the residence to leave.

Dorita later contacted her son, Jimmy, seeking his assistance in getting her granddaughter out of the property.

Although Thandie reportedly left at first, detectives said she later came back and spent some time with her grandmother.

The elderly woman was subsequently discovered lying in a pool of blood, while her granddaughter allegedly rushed outside screaming that she was bleeding.

Further details have emerged following a postmortem examination conducted by government pathologist Dr Bernard Midia.

The examination established that Dorita suffered more than 20 wounds caused by a sharp object. The injuries were found on her face, neck and arms. She also sustained a fracture to her left upper arm.The pathologist concluded that she died from severe blood loss resulting from the injuries.

Detectives are continuing with their enquiries, including collecting evidence to establish what happened before and during the fatal incident.

The three family members remain under investigation and have not been convicted of the murder.
