Postmortems reveal strangulation and head injuries in Mwingi grave case

Two of the eight bodies recovered from a shallow grave in Mwingi showed clear signs of strangulation, while another victim had multiple stab wounds. Three others sustained severe head injuries, pointing to a brutal pattern of killings. As Citizen TV’s Ode Francis reports, Government Pathologist Johansen Oduor has completed postmortem examinations on seven of the recovered bodies. However, the discovery of a severed head at a separate location brought the total number of victims exhumed in Mwingi, Kitui County, to eight. The remains were later transferred to Nairobi for further forensic analysis
