Autopsy reportedly has revealed  activist Caroline Mwatha indeed died from a botched abortion.

Caroline Mwatha was reported missing last week, prompting Amnesty International to raise the alarm over her disappearance, given her work lobbying against extra judicial killings by police.

A police source said that Mwatha, who was five months pregnant, had died at a clinic where she had gone for the abortion.

The police had seen text messages of her planning the abortion with the clinic owner with police spokesman Charles Owino confirmed the death and the arrests of the doctor and clinic owner.

Not everyone believed the police’s version of events, and as a local rights campaigner, Mwatha’s disappearance immediately rang alarm bells in human rights circles.

Earlier on chaos erupted on Mbagathi Way on Thursday afternoon after a police vehicle hit an activist while transferring Caroline Mwatha Ochieng’s body from City Mortuary to Umash Funeral Home.

The government had proposed to defer the postmortem to Monday but Mwatha’s family a were uncomfortable the developments.

This led to the proposal to move the body to a private facility where the autopsy operation could be conducted.
