An autopsy conducted on the body of the 12-year-old boy who was reportedly shot in Ongata Rongai has revealed he died of excessive bleeding.
Government pathologist Peter Ndegwa conducted the autopsy on Monday, July 1, at the Ongata Rongai Sub County Hospital Funeral Home.
Ndegwa revealed that the boy allegedly succumbed as a result of excessive bleeding caused by a gunshot wound.
According to Ndegwa, the bullet allegedly pierced through the arteries and the lungs of the 12-year-old leading to excessive bleeding and consequently his death.
"He has one bullet which has entered from the right side of the body to the left side of the body through both axullar," stated pathologist Peter Ndegwa.
"It shuttered the arteries and the veins in both axullar areas and then perforated the two lungs," he added.
Meanwhile, the family of the deceased has called for the immediate persecution of the police officer who reportedly shot at the deceased.
According to the boy's mother, her child was a visionary young artiste who dreamed of travelling to the United States of America (USA) to explore his gift of drawing.
"Yesterday I heard President William Ruto claiming my child is not dead, but you who are here can confirm he is no more," commented the boy's mother.
"What has been confirmed is that he died from a bullet, I am not sure of the number of the bullets, let him receive justice."
The deceased was reportedly shot several times while on his way to a friend's house to pick up a book he was sharing.
His friend waited for him for hours to hand over the book only to learn later that the classmate had allegedly been shot and was dead.
Following the incident, the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) was urged to expedite the incident and bring the perpetrator into book.
