Good morning,
According to the autopsy conducted by pathologist Kamotho Watenga from Murang’a District Hospital, the suspected bank robber who was believed to have raided a bank in Murang’a county was shot nine times. The autopsy revealed that he was shot three times in the head and six times in the back, and none of the six bullets in the back had exit wounds.
The pathologist also noted that the three bullets that hit the head had both entry and exit points. In addition to the gunshot wounds, the suspect had bruises on the legs, wrists, and back, which suggest that he may have been hit with a blunt object. The pathologist further stated that an X-ray scan would be necessary to determine whether the bullets are lodged in the body.
Furthermore, Kamotho noted that the bullets used may be the type that fragments inside the body to maximize their impact. The autopsy, which took almost three hours, concluded that the cause of death was gunshot wounds.
