The family of the deceased Dandora human rights activist Caroline Mwatha on Tuesday evening poked holes in the abortion narrative put forth by the police.
Moments after Mwatha's body, who had been missing, was discovered at City Mortuary, the DCI issued a statement that she had tried to procure abortion for a 5-month pregnancy but succumbed in the process.
According to The Star, her family pointed out that the activist's body had two deep cuts, one on the thigh and another one on the neck.
The cut which was about five inches long reportedly appeared to had been inflicted by a sharp object and there was blood from the wound.
Besides, her pubic area was reportedly swollen and there was blood on her abdomen.
Her family further questioned why their earlier searches at the mortuary had not borne any fruits yet the records indicated that the deceased's body had already been booked in.
Furthermore, the family indicated that the mortuary record of the booking appeared to had been tampered with as it had been cancelled out several times unlike records of other bodies.
Mwatha's father, Stanlus Mbai, indicated that he first received a call from an unidentified number telling him to pick her daughter's body at the morgue.
On calling back, the man who had communicated the news did not pick the phone.
Moments later, a call came from the police asking the family to report at Buruburu Station where they were briefed before being offered transport to City Mortuary.
