A postmortem exercise on Caroline Mwatha’s body which had been scheduled for today at the City Mortuary has been pushed to Monday.
Human rights activists and family members who had gathered at morgue early on Wednesday received a report that the planned autopsy will not take place as earlier planned.
“We are disappointed by the news coming in from the DCI that the government is not ready to proceed with the autopsy today until Monday,” Haki Africa executive director Hussein Khalid said.
According to the Director of Criminal Investigation (DCI) Gorge Kinoti ,the Activist body was found on Tuesday at the City Mortuary after missing since February 8, 2019.
The statement released on Tuesday evening revealed that Mwatha died from botched abortion which occurred in a community-based clinic (New Njiru Community Center) in Dandora area phase 1 on February 6.
Reports say that the abortion procedure which led to her death was procured by Betty Akinyi, who is the owner of the clinic and one Dr Michael Onchiri.
Police investigations have led to the arrest of six individuals so far.
The statement from the DCI also revealed that Carol might have died in the clinic and the body transferred to City Mortuary on Monday 7 at 4:42 a.m according to the records in the City Mortuary.
