Slain teacher Albert Ojwang’ died from head injuries, neck compression and multiple soft tissue trauma, an autopsy revealed.
Pathologists ruled out self-inflicted injuries caused the death. Ojwang was a teacher based in Voi.
He was hit in the head and strangled, the postmortem report said.
Further, he had multiple injuries in hands.
Ojwang’, who died in custody at the Central Police Station was assaulted and suffered multiple body injuries, a team of pathologists led by government pathologist Bernard Midia concluded.
“He had head and neck injuries.
There were other multiple injuries consistent with assault,” he said.
He made the revelations after completing an autopsy on Ojwang’s body on Tuesday.
He insisted Ojwang’ did not hit himself on the wall as earlier reported in a police report.
“When we examined … the pattern of the injury, especially on the trauma I found on the head….
Hitting against a blunt substance like a wall would have a pattern,” he said.
Midia said that in the event of one hitting themselves on a wall, frontal bleeding on the head would be seen.
“But the bleeds that we found on the scalp…on the skin of the head were spaced, including on the face, sides of the head, and the back of the head,” he explained.
The pathologist, who conducted the procedure alongside the family’s representative Mutuma Zambezi dismissed the possibility of Ojwang’ injuring himself.
