Detectives drawn from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have ordered a fresh autopsy on nominated MP David Sankok's son, Memusi Sankok, in order to ascertain what exactly led to his death. 

This is after an initial autopsy conducted on Tuesday, May 3, at Longisa Hospital in Bomet revealed that Memusi's demise was caused by a bullet that entered through his chin and exited through his head. 

Media reports indicate that detectives probing the matter now want a fresh forensic analysis done by the government pathologist in order to ascertain if the 15-year-old died by suicide or someone else was involved.

The move, according to the burial committee, forced Sankok's family to suspend the planned Tuesday, May 10, burial to a later date. 

"As a committee, we have decided that the burial set for Tuesday will be reviewed hence we will give a comprehensive statement on the date of burial on Monday, May 9," Narok East Member of Parliament, Ken Aramat, told the media.

The detectives had earlier visited Sankok's home for a second time over inconsistencies in statements issued by the family in relation to the minor's death.

Narok County DCI boss, Mwenda Ethaiba, noted that they were investigating a possible second gun involvement in the incident.

This is after preliminary investigations revealed that the initial gun taken for analysis was possibly not used in the incident. 

The Narok County police boss noted that a comprehensive report would be released at a later date. 

“Unlike other rifles, a shotgun releases pellets. No bullet or cartridge was found,” Ethaiba stated.

Politicians allied with Deputy President William Ruto have also urged Kenyans not to politicise the matter and wait until police investigations are completed. 

"We want to ask the police not to interfere in the case with politics because of his stand. We do not want politics and drama over this child shooting.

"There is a lot of propaganda when someone has died and we do not want that," Bahati Member of Parliament, Kimani Ngunjiri, stated.
