Saturday, March 8, 2025 - An autopsy conducted on the body of Dennis Muthui, who was shot dead during protests in Nairobi’s Majengo slums, has confirmed that he succumbed to a gunshot wound, contradicting initial reports by the police that he had been stabbed.
Government pathologist Dr. Johansen Oduor revealed that
Muthui, aged 26, sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the stomach.
The postmortem findings indicate that he was shot at close
range with a small-caliber weapon, most likely a pistol.
These findings directly contradict the National Police
Service’s (NPS) initial claim that Muthui had been stabbed by criminals during
the protests.
Dr. Oduor further disclosed that gun pellets and plastic fragments were recovered from Muthui’s abdomen, crucial evidence that has since been collected by investigators from the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) as part of their probe into the fatal shooting.
Muthui was shot on Wednesday, a day of heightened unrest in
Majengo, where protests erupted following the police killing of 17-year-old
Ibrahim Ramadhan.
The demonstrations quickly turned chaotic, with running
battles between police officers and enraged residents.
A video of a rogue cop suspected to have shot Muthui
celebrating after killing him has surfaced online.
The unidentified cop bragged that he was ready to kill more
people when members of the public tried to confront him.
