Government Pathologist Peter Ndegwa revealed that the post-mortem results of Nanyuki resident Julia Njoki, who died while in remand at Nanyuki women’s prison, were inconclusive.
“We are finding something in the lungs, the brain, pancreas and liver, all of which can be contributory (to her death)”, Ndegwa noted.
The pathologist also observed that during the first autopsy, Njoki had considerable bleeding in her brain but said it may have been enough to lead to her death.
He also disclosed that while surgeons performed craniotomy on Njoki’s head, the full report of the complex procedure had not been made available by Tuesday, July 15.
Regarding the matter, the pathologist has therefore requested two weeks to facilitate a more comprehensive report based on the findings from their autopsy.
Reports indicated that Njoki collapsed in prison and passed away amid unsuccessful attempts for her medical attention.
He family is now seeking justice, maintaining that the deceased was in good health when she was booked days after being arrested.
