Saturday, January 20, 2024 - Chief Government Pathologist Johansen Oduor has revealed intricate details of how slain Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) student Rita Waeni's life came to a tragic end at an apartment in Roysambu following a postmortem examination.
Addressing the press
yesterday, the pathologist explained that Waeni's skin showed signs of
deep cuts from a sharp object.
Her bones, however, appeared to
have been sawed off with a hack saw.
“In my entire forensic life,
this is the first time I have come across such an incident,” he stated.
Apart from the student's head
missing, Oduor explained that the killer cut the head of her femur clean such
that her legs were separated from the body.
Further, the pathologist
reported that the girl's body lost a lot of blood, samples of which had been
taken for further analysis.
He deduced that the blood loss
was from the cuts the girl had experienced.
From the examination, the
government pathologist added that the perpetrator attempted to pluck off the
fingernails.
“We think probably by clipping
the fingers off, the person was trying to hide the evidence so that we fail to
get his DNA from this victim.?
DNA samples have since been
taken for further analysis to aid police in the investigations.
According to Oduor, with the
possibility of a scuffle between Waeni and her assailant, her fingers would
have the culprit's DNA.
Rita Waeni was killed in a
short-stay premise in Roysambu after an encounter with a person she had come to
meet.
The police officers have
arrested three suspects in line with the murder.
