Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The body of Veteran journalist Gatonye Gathura was on Thursday, November 25, found in a morgue in Naivasha, Nakuru County.<\/p>\n

Police officers reported that his body was found at the Naivasha Sub-County Referral Hospital mortuary after he went missing almost a month ago.<\/p>\n

Gathura had been missing since October 26, 2021 and his body found dumped on the Naivasha-Mai Mahiu Road on the same day.<\/p>\n

A copper wire was tied around his neck, an indication that he could have been strangled.<\/p>\n

The body would be taken to the morgue and marked as ‘unknown male adult.’<\/p>\n

A month after his disappearance, the Registrar of Persons used Gatonye’s finger prints and established his identity.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Press, Naivasha Sub-County Police Commander Samuel Waweru disclosed no identification documents were found on the deceased.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are treating his death as murder. We suspect he was killed elsewhere and the body dumped in Naivasha,\u201d Waweru stated.<\/p>\n

Previously, Gathura worked for the Standard and Nation.<\/p>\n

He, however, left the two media houses and started his own Health blog by the name Health and Science blog called Rocket Science.<\/p>\n

Some of the content published on the site include; reproductive health, mental health and common diseases.<\/p>\n
