- A well-wisher has stepped in to assist Joel Fitzpatrick, an Irish man who was
robbed of Ksh 80 million by his estranged Kikuyu wife and left homeless.
According to a post shared by his friend on social media, a
member of the Rotary Club in Malindi has offered Joel unlimited accommodation
in case he is evicted from his own house following a demand letter from his
wife’s lawyer instructing him to vacate the property, which is said to have
been purchased using his own money, until the court determines the case.
“We continue to support our friend Joel. Grateful to the
hundreds of people who have reached out to offer support in various ways,” the
post read.
Joel’s friend noted that it is painful to witness someone
who sold his house in Dublin and invested approximately Ksh 100 million in
Malindi to secure a comfortable retirement, only to end up “homeless, penniless
and relying on well-wishers.”
“It’s a tragedy. You wouldn’t wish your worst enemy to pay
such a heavy and painful price for loving and trusting someone,” the post
added.
Joel’s estranged wife filed for divorce 4 months after their
wedding.
Before relocating to Kenya, Joel reportedly sent her Ksh 80 million to purchase a house and two cars, which were registered under her name before she later filed for divorce.
