Are you satisfied with the findings arrived at following a post-mortem examination conducted on the late Caroline Mwatha?

A Pathological examination yesterday proved that the late Caroline indeed died after a botched abortion process that led to excessive bleeding from a ruptured uterus.

The pathological examination though conculsive, it has now been established that a toxology exam will be done to establish if Ms Mwatha ingested any chemicals which could have also caused her death.

Dr Ndegwa, the Independent Pathologist also said the injury on her neck was due to an embalming procedure at the City Mortuary, where she was booked as a private citizen.

The Pathologist also said it is upon investigators to establish the circumstances under which she died.

He said it is upon them to establish if the abortion was done with or without her intention.

Speaking on behalf of human rights organisations, Mr Kamau Ngugi of Human Rights Defenders said, “We have been involved in this process, we are satisfied with the competency and independence that the police and members of the medical profession have displayed in carrying out the post-mortem examination.

“This puts everyone in a place where it will be possible to accept the results, ” he said.

Mr Ngugi added: ” We are grateful to the police service which under intense pressure that was generated by this episode have worked quickly and shown great levels of competency in investigating the death of Caroline.”

“Nothing takes away what Caroline used to do in the community. The outcome today is part of the investigation,” Mr Ngugi said.

Police meanwhile have intensified their investigations all with an aim of bringing all those responsible for Caroline’s death to book.
