The husband of Caroline Mwatha, Joshua Ochieng, has said his wife’s funeral plans have officially begun.
An autopsy report released on Thursday, February 14 revealed that Ms Mwatha died from excessive bleeding as a result of botched abortion of a 5-month old foetus.
Ms Mwatha’s family had – prior to the postmortem – protested the then-police allegations that Ms Mwatha succumbed to an unsuccessful abortion conducted on February 6 at a clinic in Dandora.
Her father, Stanslus Mbai, said he was “unaware” of his daughter’s pregnancy.
Police said the deceased got pregnant by her lover, who is based in Isiolo, and – as a result –, she had opted to get rid of the unborn baby.
“The government has tabled its autopsy findings. I have no comment on that postmortem report. What I would say is we are now making arrangements to bury our loved one,” Mr Ochieng said.
The couple got married in 2005, and has two children together.
Caroline Mwatha’s body was found dumped in City Mortuary on Tuesday, February 12, with her family members saying she had cuts in the neck, abdomen and thighs.
At least six people, including Ms Mwatha’s alleged lover, Gitau Gikonyo, and said-‘quack’ doctors who administered the abortion, have been arrested in connection with her death.
