Investigators from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) who included a team from the Homicide Unit exhumed Jeff Mwathi’s body in the Likia area of Njoro Sub-County, Nakuru county on Friday, March 31 for a second exhumation.

Chief government Pathologist, Johansen Oduor said that just like the first autopsy, he found that Mwathi died of very severe injuries to the head, neck, and limbs which needed to be investigated.

In a statement, Johansen Oduor said that the fractures on the head were very severe that they up to the base of the skull and almost raptured it.

“The main reason for the exhumation and the second autopsy was to find out if Mwathi was sodomized as it is being alleged in many social circles,” Johansen Oduor said.

Oduor added that other samples were also taken to the government Chemist for toxicology analysis to find out whether there were some toxins or other drugs involved in the incident which occurred.
