Chief Government Pathologist Johansen Oduor publicly released the autopsy results on Friday regarding the horrific murders of an Eastleigh mother, Wasir Daud, her daughter Amina Abdirashid, and her niece Nuseiba Dahir.
During a media briefing following the postmortem examination at City Mortuary, Oduor revealed that the mother’s hands had been severed and the skin from her face had been peeled away.
“When you look at the face, there were multiple injuries with the skin being peeled off. Also for both arms,” the Chief Pathologist stated.
“(The mother) had her hand chopped off. She had a neck almost severed totally with injuries to the neck vessels and trachea.”
He further showed that her daughter were stabbed multiple times including one which pierced directly into her heart killing her.
“(The daughter) had one of the stab wounds getting right into the heart. She died because of the stabs,” Oduor added.
The Chief Pathologist further revealed that the niece suffocated, and evidence on her body suggested she was likely sexually assaulted before her death.
Oduor indicated that additional samples were taken for further analysis to uncover the details of this brutal murder, while human rights activists and the Eastleigh community urged the police to expedite their investigations and apprehend those responsible.
The trio went missing on Monday, October 21, and were later discovered dead in Bahati, Parklands, and Machakos, all bearing similar injuries.
CCTV footage captured the two girls leaving their home that day, searching for their mother, who had not returned from a hospital visit. The daughter was 22, and the niece was only 10.
On Friday, detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) recovered a vehicle believed to be linked to the heinous crime, which had been abandoned by the assailants in Wakulima Market, Nairobi.
Separately, investigators interrogated a woman who was with the trio during their abduction. She revealed that the kidnappers had demanded nearly Ksh1 million for their release.
Reports suggest that the family managed to raise the money and deposited it into an Ethiopian bank account, but the abductors proceeded with the murders once they learned the women’s identities.
