In a heartfelt statement on Friday, July 22nd, 2023, Maxwell Mmera, the widower, bravely shared the autopsy results surrounding the tragic passing of his late wife.
According to the autopsy findings, the cause of death was attributed to either a double stab or a stab combined with a side pull that penetrated the artery and a portion of the lungs.
“I got the post mortem results yesterday, that was unsurvivable done by someone who is a murderer- a 13cm deep inside at your back below the scapula with a v-cut (meaning either double stab, or stab and side pull, as per the pathologist), straight in to the artery and part of lungs,” Mmera posted.
