An autopsy on the body of Eugene Mutuku, a student at Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) who was allegedly pushed out of a moving matatu along Thika Road, has revealed that he died from severe multiple body injuries and internal bleeding caused by falling.

The post-mortem examination on the 19-year-old student was conducted on Monday at the Kenyatta National Hospital Mortuary.

Eugene, a student at KMTC Yatta Campus, was reportedly pushed out of the Nicco Sacco matatu and later succumbed to his injuries while receiving treatment at Kenyatta National Hospital. 

The matatu was later found abandoned in Kariokor area within Nairobi, while the driver and conductor remain at large. 

His grieving family is now demanding a thorough investigation and the immediate arrest of those responsible for the heinous act.

Meanwhile, two directors of the Nicco Transport Company were arraigned in court today, as police continue their manhunt for the bus driver and his conductor.
