The late American-Somali businessman Bashir Mohamud Mohamed is expected to be buried on Monday afternoon after his body was found in Mwea, Kirinyaga County on Saturday.

Bashir is slated to be laid to rest at 4:30pm at the Lang’ata Muslim Cemetery in Nairobi after Asr prayers are conducted at the Salaam Mosque in South C.

The burial will follow the autopsy that was conducted on the body of the slain 35-year-old businessman by chief government pathologist Dr Johansen Oduor at Umash Funeral Home.

This comes as the postmortem revealed that Bashir was strangled to death.

The postmortem, according to Dr Oduor, revealed signs of torture, including multiple blunt object injuries on the head and burn injuries on the body.
