An autopsy report released on Saturday revealed the cause of death for a Kenyan woman based in the United States who was discovered dead beside her boyfriend, a medical doctor, in Kisii town on November 27.
Following the post-mortem examination, the lady was reported to have died from blunt force injuries to her skull, implying that she was killed.
The study also revealed that the 28-year-old was tortured before being killed in the flat.“She had been badly beaten and bruised.
Her skull had been crashed and there was blood in her brain. She was badly beaten from her head to her knees,” a family spokesperson stated.
Days before the two were discovered dead, the woman’s family disclosed that they had reported suspicious activities to the Keroka Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) over an alleged hitman stalking their daughter.
Despite being assigned an OB number on November 23, they claim no inquiry was performed until she vanished mysteriously and was discovered dead only four days later.
After being unable to reach the man, his cousin approached the landlady for assistance in gaining admission to his flat.
The two were discovered on a mattress, hands interlaced.
Detectives from the DCI who examined the crime scene claimed that it was cluttered with both used and unused syringes.
“No suicide note was found, however, there were assorted injection syringes, both used and unused, and medicines,” revealed an officer from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) who visited the scene.
The two were buried on Friday, December 13, in two separate ceremonies, with mourners from both ends urging for prompt inquiries into the situation.
The man’s family stated that their son’s fiancée had previously attempted suicide, implying that suicide was not out of the question.
However, her family disagreed with this concept and demanded further investigations to determine whether it was femicide or suicide.
Counsellors, doctors, and psychologists all urge that you get treatment if you are experiencing any mental health problems.
