Postmortem Reveals Torture JKUAT Student Underwent: An autopsy conducted on the body of Denzel Omondi has revealed that the 23-year-old died as a result of drowning.
Speaking to the media after the exercise on Tuesday, July 9, Irungu Houghton, the Executive Director for Amnesty International Kenya, outlined the Autopsy was conducted on the body of the missing student to ascertain the real cause of death.
The postmortem revealed that the JKUAT student, whose body was discovered in a quarry in Juja, had injuries on his knees and back.
They stated,”We have been told by the pathologist that he died by drowning. They discovered that he had bruises on the back of his head and on his knees,”
“This continues to be investigated but the pathologist’s report indicates that he died by drowning,” the Amnesty boss revealed.
Omondi’s family and friends have since called on investigations. The student went missing two days after he filmed himself protesting at parliament.
He stated,”We know that he was protesting at Parliament on June 25. On June 26, he was seen at the university and on June 27 he disappeared. On July 6, his body was found floating in the Mashinani quarry in Juja,”
“This is very suspicious and we were here independent pathologists, IPOA and the KNHC to make sure that he deserves a thorough postmortem,” he stated.
On his part, Omondi’s father described the death of his son as untimely given the high hopes he had for his firstborn son.
The Father stated,”He was the firstborn son and we had so many hopes with him. He was a bright boy and I cannot understand why he was not left alone to finish his studies.”
