Authorities Allegedly Falsifying Documentation of Protest Victims at City Mortuary
Could authorities be deliberately falsifying documentation of bodies recovered from protest scenes?
New information reveals that victims killed in protests are being recorded at the City Mortuary in Nairobi with causes of death and locations that don’t match the actual events.
Citizen TV found that a young man who died in the protests in Kitengela was documented as having died in an accident in Juja. This is not an isolated case of incorrect information being entered into the morgue registry.
Charles Owino, last seen in Kitengela according to his family and believed to have been shot in the head, was also recorded as having died from an accident.

Owino’s body was picked up in Kitengela during Tuesday’s protests. When his family arrived at the city mortuary the next day, records indicated he had arrived as an unidentified person from Juja.
Despite confirming Owino’s identity, the family still has many unanswered questions. Authorities have informed them they need to submit a police OB report for the government to conduct a post-mortem exam to determine the cause of death.
Citizen TV also discovered that two more bodies, also victims of the protests, were inaccurately recorded. One was attributed to mob justice, while the other was labeled as a result of an accident in Juja.
These inaccuracies in the registry entries for the three bodies suggest the possibility of deliberate actions.
The bodies are currently awaiting identification at the City Mortuary.
