The truth has come to light reigning over the darkness that has been covering the death of female activist from Dandora Caroline Mwatha.
After disappearance for almost a week, her body was found lifeless at the city mortuary in Nairobi.The police reports that followed however caused quite a commotion due to inconsistency of information and disbelief from family who learned lots of shocking news for the first time that day.
Only an autopsy was to tell between the contrasting parties who was belivable and indeed the result came out but in favor of the DCI George Kinoti who claimed it was a botched abortion.
Human rights activist Caroline Mwatha bled to death from a ruptured uterus, an autopsy shows. The postmortem conducted yesterday by family pathologist Peter Ndegwa showed Caroline’s male foetus was mutilated by surgical interference. The autopsy was conducted at Umash Funeral Home in Nairobi.
“Somebody mutilated the foetus, it has no one left upper limb, it has no brain because it has been sucked out and the bones of the skull are fractured,” Ndegwa said.
Chief Government Pathologist Dr Johansen Oduor supervised the examination.
Ndegwa’s description of the injuries indicate Caroline died a painful death. The anatomical analysis, Ndegwa said, showed the foetus had come out of the uterus to the abdominal cavity where a lot of blood was found. Ndegwa said the uterus had been perforated at the back leaving “a very big gaping hole”.
“Therefore, what we are seeing is that somebody somewhere somehow attempted to either dismember the foetus or remove some parts.”
Six people were arrested over the death. They include Betty, Mike, Alexander Gitau, taxi driver Stephen Maina, Betty’s son Richard Ramoya and Georgia Achieng Tabitha.
