Woman linked to Dr Obwaka poisoning case detained as police intensify investigations

Detectives probing the sudden death of former Nairobi Hospital director Dr. Job Obwaka now say they are investigating a possible case of suspected poisoning, which may have occurred at Beatrice Wangari’s residence. The detectives, who brought Wangari before the Kibera Law Courts seeking custodial orders to detain her for 14 days, told the court that they require more time to complete postmortem and toxicological analyses. The court has ordered that Wangari be detained for 10 days to allow police to conclude their investigations.
