This means the muzzle of the gun was held against the chin when it was fired, with the bullet exiting through the forehead.The postmortem was conducted by five pathologists &#8211; two from the government and three representing Kenei\u2019s family.\u201cWhat we are yet to establish is whether it was suicide or homicide. And because there are other investigations going on to establish that, we have taken samples that we will use to reach an opinion,\u201d said chief government pathologist Johansen Oduor.<\/p>\n<p>The autopsy showed that there were no injuries on Kenei\u2019s body, said Dr Oduor, adding that they had taken swabs of his hands for further analysis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Body decomposed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oduor added that Kenei\u2019s body had started to decompose, which meant that one or two days had passed before it was found.<\/p>\n<p>The pathologists are scheduled to visit the scene where the body was found inside the sergeant\u2019s Villa France estate home in Nairobi.Yesterday, a neighbour told police that he picked up Kenei on February 18 and dropped him off at Harambee House Annex between 7am and 7.30am.According to a preliminary police report, Kenei is said to have left the DP\u2019s office at 8.30pm.<\/p>\n<p>But no neighbours or guards at the estate saw him return to his servant\u2019s quarter that night.Kenei was scheduled to record a statement with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations on February 19 regarding an incident in which former Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Echesa and others visited the second floor of the building and signed a fake Sh39 billion arms deal.<\/p>\n<p>On the morning of February 19, the friend who always gave Kenei a lift to work could not reach him as his phone went unanswered.According to police, later that Wednesday, the tenant in the main house thought that something was amiss when she saw that Kenei\u2019s door was partly open and lights were on during the day.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, February 20, the tenant asked her house-help to go and check on Kenei but the woman could not push the door open. She sought the help of a security guard who opened the door only to find Kenei lying on the floor in his pyjamas.The tenant, like other neighbours, did not report hearing a gun shot. A spent cartridge and Jericho pistol was found next to the body.Police said they will start recording statements from various parties today. They are also investigating who deleted Kenei\u2019s social media accounts before or after his death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Detectives investigating the death of a policeman attached to the office of the deputy president believe he was murdered.Police are yet to state the motive behind the killing of Sergeant Kipyegon Kenei\u00a0(pictured), whose body was found in his house on February 20 with a gunshot wound to the head.But pathologists who conducted a postmortem on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":84,"featured_media":3303,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3,7,8],"tags":[1691,1635,1605],"class_list":["post-3302","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-news","category-community","category-head-lines","category-homepage-english","tag-dp-ruto-office-guard","tag-kipyegon-kenei","tag-sergeant-kipyegon-kenei"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.1 (Yoast SEO v27.0) -
