On Tuesday, detectives from the DCI's Homicide unit questioned Gospel musician Ruth Matete for hours over the death of her husband and fellow pastor John Apewajoye.
The interrogation took place at the headquarters of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations following a summons last week.
Ms Matete was accompanied by her father Mr Abel Amunga, lawyer Mr Robert Odanga, and a female friend during the questioning.
Mr Odanga told journalists that his client was asked to narrate events that led to the gas cylinder accident earlier reported as the cause of her husband's death.
According to the post-mortem report, Apewajoye died in hospital after sustaining burns in the couple's house at Great Wall Gardens Estate in Athi River on March 30.
He was initially taken to Shallom Hospital and later transferred to Bellevue South Hospital, where he was admitted to the high dependency unit.
On April 5, Apewajoye developed complications and was referred to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), where a nurse questioned Bellevue's decision to admit a burns patient for a week, knowing that the hospital did not have a burns unit.
Ms Matete said KNH told them that Apewajoye had not been receiving enough water at Bellevue South, which led to his kidney failure.
Meanwhile, Apewajoye's post-mortem has been postponed to Thursday, with Bellevue South Hospital seeking to have an independent pathologist present during the examination at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) mortuary in Nairobi.
