Friend of Slain NJ Couple
The night before Michael Muchioki and Nia Haqq were murdered, Michael Muchioki jokingly told his best friend of 10 years, Kenneth Simpson: “Just tell my story.” Simpson, a Bridge Engineer for New Jersey Transit, is now doing what his friend requested: telling his story.
“I have know Michael Muchioki for 10 years. We first met in college at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). Over the years, Mike and I would develop a friendship that could never be broken. We would talk about everything from relationships to politics and any other topics.
Mike was never short on words so our conversations lasted for hours. Whenever Mike and I would travel to a new place–like in the above photo, we were in Cancun, Mexico–we would jokingly say, “Just tell my story.” The time has come for me to do just that.”
