Autopsy reveals cause of Nyamira couple's deaths as family calls for justice

The family of the deceased US-based man Edward Morema and his wife Grace Mong'ina Morema who were murdered by unknown assailants in their Nyamakoroto home is seeking a speedy investigation to bring the culprits to book.

According to the autopsy report conducted on the two bodies at Kisii Teaching and Referral hospital, Edward Morema was hit two times on his head with a blunt object and sustained three stab injuries on his ribs while his wife Grace Morema died out of strangulation.

The culprits dismantled the CCTV DVR from the house before locking the house and leaving the scene of crime.

Masaba North sub-County police commander Robbert Ndambiri said officers are still holding two workers in the homestead, who are helping with investigations.

The Morema family, which is yet to start funeral arrangements, described the couple as being supportive to the community when it came to school and church affairs as well as helping the needy.
