Did police constable Caroline Kangogo shoot herself dead or was she killed by unknown persons? That remains the big question even as her family prepares to bury her.
A team of homicide detectives from Nairobi on Saturday arrived in Elgeyo Marakwet to probe the circumstances leading to her death.
Kangogo’s body was found in a bathroom at her parent’s home at Nyawa village in Tambach division of Elgeyo Marakwet on Friday.
Her body is lying at the Iten county referral hospital awaiting an autopsy.
Family members said she may be buried in the course of the week.
It’s the position of the body, the gun in her hand, the kind of injury on the body and the flow of blood in the room that raises questions about how she died.
Elgeyo Marakwet county commander Patrick Lumumba who led the team of officers to the scene said they are treating the death as a suicide case.
“We are investigating the matter further,” Lumumba said.
Caroline Kangogo Autopsy was done today, she will be buried on Saturday.
The autopsy report contradicts the alledged suicide claims.
Chief Government Pathologist Dr. Johansen Oduor said that Caroline Kangogo died because of gun shot wounds to the head.
She had torture marks in her hands, she was also strangled, and she also had visible head injuries, autopsies conducted on Thursday, July 22, indicate.
