Albert Ojwang Post

Описание: An autopsy has all but confirmed that Albert Ojwang’ was a victim of police brutality.

Ojwang’, who died while in custody at the Central Police Station, suffered multiple injuries from an assault. Government pathologist Dr. Bernard Midia, who carried out the autopsy alongside family pathologist Mutuma Zambezi, confirmed that Ojwang’ sustained multiple injuries consistent with assault -not self-harm.

The detailed findings contradict a police report that claimed Ojwang’ fatally injured himself by hitting his head against a wall inside a police cell.

“When we examined the pattern of the injury, especially on the trauma I found on the head.Hitting against a blunt substance like a wall would have a pattern,” Dr. Midia said during a press briefing.

He explained that injuries from such an impact would normally cause bleeding at the front of the head. However, Ojwang’ had scattered wounds on his face, the sides, and the back of his head, suggesting repeated blows from different angles.

Dr. Midia further stated that Ojwang’ had injuries across other parts of his body as well as signs of neck compression.

“These injuries are consistent with external assault. There were also signs of a struggle,” he said

“When we tie up together with other injuries that are well spread on parts of the body …including the upper limbs and the trunk … Then this is unlikely to be self-inflicted injury,” he added.

These disturbing revelations have fueled growing public outrage and calls for accountability. Human rights organizations and Ojwang’s family are now pushing for an independent investigation into the incident, demanding answers and justice for a life lost under police watch.

The autopsy results have once again placed a spotlight on the troubling issue of extrajudicial killings in Kenya, with renewed pressure on authorities to act transparently.
RIP ALBERT OJWANG.
