His father, speaking to a media outlet, highlighted that the government had yet to provide explanations regarding the circumstances surrounding the death of their relative.
According to the father, the authority has failed to provide the autopsy report, findings of the autopsy or the death certificate of the officer who was involved in Haiti mission.
“We asked for the provisional report to show the post-mortem finding, and they refused to give us. Even the death certificate provided by the US, they are yet to submit it.”
The family further revealed that the brother of the descended who currently resides in the US, was also prevented from viewing the body moments after he was pronounced dead, claiming that he was now under US custody.
“When the body first arrived in Kenya, they barred us from viewing it. Later, they called us to the Lee Funeral Home, where we confirmed it was our son.”
