Autopsy now reveals ex-Treasury official Tom Osinde was hacked to death

A post-mortem examination conducted on the body of ex-Treasury official Tom Osinde has revealed that he died from two slash wounds.

Government Pathologist Dr. Johansen Oduor, who conducted an autopsy on Osinde's body at the Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital, revealed that the cuts caused damage to the brain and injured the spine.

The autopsy, which lasted for one and a half hours, was aimed at helping homicide detectives piece together the events that led to his untimely death and solve the murder puzzle.

Dr Oduor spoke to Citizen TV on phone and revealed that the slash wounds ran from the back of the head to the spine, injuring the spine, while the other slash wound went deep into the brain.

The vital exercise was carried out on Friday afternoon in the presence of members of the family and Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) sleuths.

According to sources within the family, Osinde's body is set to be taken back to a Nakuru morgue.

Osinde was last seen alive at his home before his mysterious disappearance on Sunday June 18, 2023, upon which he is presumed to have been murdered before his body was found floating on River Kuja in Kamagambo, at the border of Migori and Kisii counties, on June 22.
