The family of Interior Designer, Jeff Mwathi will have to wait for three months in order to pave investigations to know the exact cause of his death.
This is after a Second Post-Mortem failed to deliver the unquestionable cause of his death.
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 pathologist said they had taken additional samples, specifically anal swabs for DNA testing to investigate whether Mwathi was sexually abused before his death.

“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.
“When all these results come from the laboratory, a team will analyse and come up with a conclusive report,” he said.
The pathologist said his team also measured the width of Mwathi’s chest to give it to the police to be compared with the size of the window that he was said to have jumped through.
