Mortuary Science Experts Show What Caused Albert Ojwang‘s Pervasive Death
The police custody death of 31 year old Albert Ojwang has caused outrage nationally while recent findings from mortuary science experts can speak to the actual cause of his untimely death; however, these findings contradict the official police report.
Albert Ojwang was arrested for alleged charges associated with the online publishing of false information, where he later died in the custody of Nairobi’s Central Police Station, raising questions about possible police involvement in his death.
The official police report indicated that Ojwang had died by suicide after banging his head against the wall of his isolation cell in their facility.
However, experts with experience examining deceased bodies at Nairobi Funeral Home (formally City Mortuary) suggesting a much darker truth.
Mortuary science experts have indicated that after a proper post-mortem examination, admittedly good, it was discerned that Ojwang displayed signs of blunt force traumatic injury on the face and upper body.
These injuries denoted extensive bruising, swelling within the face, and blood oozing out of both his nose and mouth, which demonstrated the visual symptoms of being violently beaten.
Furthermore, the state of his also displayed defensive wounds to indicate that Ojwang had fought back against his attacker‘s before getting killed from sustained injuries which, ipso facto, suggested that he got killed by either police officers and/or members whom were affiliated with police officers.
According to his father, Meshack Ojwang Opiyo, his son Ojwang was arrested at their home in Kakoth Village, Kokwanyo Location, Kabondo Kasipul Constituency, on Saturday at around 1.30 pm.
Giving an account before and arrest the arrest, Opiyo narrated that they were having lunch when, suddenly, two motorcycles rode into the homestead —one approaching from the back and the other from the side of the house. Each motorcycle carried two plainclothes police officers.
“They introduced themselves as police officers from different stations. One of them identified himself as Sigei. They ordered my son to put down his plate, saying he was under arrest, and then handcuffed him.
“They claimed my son had insulted their boss on X (formerly Twitter). When I asked which boss they were referring to, Sigei told me to stop asking too many questions and to follow them to Mawego Police Station,” he recounted.
He was initially booked at Mawego Police Station before being transferred to the DCI headquarters in Nairobi and later detained at Central Police Station.
