Three people who died at the Moi International Kasarani Stadium during the viewing of the body of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga were shot in the chest and head, an autopsy on their bodies showed.
The victims were shot by police as the security team tried to stop a mob from accessing a VIP section area where the body was being prepared for public viewing on October 16, 2025.
This was a day after the death of Odinga in India.
Two others died at the Nyayo Stadium in a stampede. More than 300 people were injured in the chaos.
Those who died were identified as Vincent Otieno Ogutu, 36, Evan Onyango Kiche, 40, Josfae Jida Burka, 42 and Josephine Anjao Akeng’o.
Bullets recovered from the bodies of Evans Kiche and Vincent Otieno Ogutu were handed over to the Independent Police Oversight Agency (IPOA) for further forensic analysis, while one unidentified body remains at City Mortuary.
Government Pathologist Bernard Midia conducted the exercise at the City Mortuary.
There were five bodies at the mortuary from the chaos witnessed at the Kasarani Stadium and Nyayo Stadium.
Three were killed at Kasarani and two at Nyayo Stadium.
“There were three males and two females, young adults. On two of them, we have found penetrating gunshot wounds to the head, with severe damage to the brain.”
