Wednesday, November 4, 2026 - The postmortem examination on the body of 86-year-old Dorita Macharia, mother of actress and former KTN host Regina Re, has revealed that she died from excessive bleeding following multiple stab wounds.
Pathologists
found several cuts on her face, neck and arms, pointing to a violent attack.
The
findings come a day after Regina Re, her daughter Thandie Malaika, her brother
Jimmy Macharia and Immanuel Munyeki were remanded for 10 days as detectives
investigate Dorita’s death.
The
elderly woman was found dead at her home in Loresho Ridge Estate on the night
of October 30 following an alleged altercation with her granddaughter, Thandie
Malaika.
The
confrontation reportedly occurred after Dorita found her granddaughter and her
boyfriend in a compromising situation inside the house.
DCI
detectives from Gigiri, three pathologists and lawyers representing the
deceased and the accused converged at Lee Funeral Home for the postmortem
examination.
Government
pathologist Dr Bernard Midia told the media that Dorita had been stabbed more
than 20 times.
"The
injuries consisted of multiple stab wounds to the neck with injury to the blood
vessels which led to severe external bleeding and two stab wounds in the neck,”
Dr Midia said.
The
examination also revealed additional sharp-force injuries on various parts of
the body, mainly around the face and neck. The pathologist further noted a
fracture on the left upper arm.
Dr
Midia said the wounds suggested that the weapon used was a very sharp object,
although it was not immediately established whether it was a knife.
"I
have seen a sharp force, so it was most likely a blade; it could
have been a knife, but it was a sharp, sharp, sharp object,” he noted.
Thandie
Malaika is being treated as a prime suspect in the murder and remains in police
custody as investigations continue.
