On Friday, March 31, government pathologist Johansen Oduor detailed the processes performed on Jeff Mwathi’s body as detectives seek to solve the mystery surrounding his death.
According to the pathologist, he took several samples from the deceased’s body, which will be tested for toxicity to determine whether the deceased was intoxicated at the time of his death.
Another sample was taken from the anal area, to determine whether the interior designer was sodomized at the time of his death.
During the second autopsy, Oduor discovered that the deceased had a neck fracture, which was consistent with the detective’s findings that Mwathi died from serious injuries.
“There were allegations of sodomy, and we took some swaps that will undergo DNA testing.” We also collected some samples for toxicology testing to determine whether toxins were present. ” He had neck fractures as well. “This is someone who died as a result of severe injuries, and we need to investigate,” he said.
On the other hand, Rift Valley region DCI boss Francis Wanjau explained that they had to carefully dig out the body for hours in order not to damage it any further.
He pointed out that any blunder by the detectives, such as a scratch on the body, would have created new issues in the case.
“The procedure is both delicate and critical. Even if they inflict a new injury, it will introduce new issues. That is why we must take our time during the process “The DCI chief explained.
During the autopsy on Friday, March 31, detectives also measured Mwathi’s chest to see if the measurements were consistent with those taken at the crime scene.
