The procedure was carried out at the Ongata Rongai Sub-County hospital mortuary where family, friemds and relatives had gathered to condole with Jocinta Anyango, the mother of the twelve year old.
However, according to the family, the postmortem procedure started before they arrived at the morgue and the pathologist has lied about the number of bullets found in the body of the twelve year old boy.
This comes after kenyans on social media expressed concerns after President William Ruto appeared not aware of the case claiming that the boy was alive despite being shot eight times by police officers.
The mother, while speaking to the press, claimed that her 12 year old son was on his way to borrow a book from a friend and was shot in cold blood by police without being part of the protesters or even participating in protests.
Additionally, she called for justice for her son and appealed for those who killed him to be brought to book for misuse of firearms on an innocent kid who was unarmed at the time of shooting.
