A post-mortem examination has revealed that businesswoman Caroline Wanjiku Maina succumbed to injuries sustained from blunt force trauma exacted on her forehead and back.

This is according to Wanjiku’s family, which said the autopsy also showed that their kin was injured on her left hip, hand and wrist during the ordeal after she was abducted in Nairobi.

Rose Thogori said the family was satisfied with the post-mortem results that showed her younger sister’s eyes had not been gouged out as had earlier been reported by police.

Thogori indicated that specimens had been collected from Wanjiku’s blood, kidney, liver, stomach, vagina as well as vaginal swabs and nail clippings for further forensic analysis.

Dr Charles Muturi conducted the autopsy at the Kenyatta Memorial Funeral Home on behalf of Chief Government Pathologist Dr Johansen Oduor.
