Family of Police Officer Walter Nyamata Who Died in the US on a Mission to Haiti Demand Autopsy Results
The relatives of Walter Nyamata, a prominent Kenyan Police Inspector who recently passed away in Washington DC, are now seeking explanations.
The officer, who acted as Deputy Inspector General Noor Gabow’s aide, was involved in a team tasked with carrying out a reconnaissance operation for the deployment initiative between Kenya and Haiti.
The individual, aged 39, who was found dead in a hotel in the capital of the United States, was buried on Friday, March 16, in Nyatieko village located in Nyamira County.
After the funeral, the father, speaking to the press, emphasized that the government had still not provided any clarifications regarding the events leading to their relative’s death.
As per the father’s statement, the authorities haven’t furnished the autopsy report, the autopsy findings, or the death certificate.
“We asked for the provisional report to show the post-mortem finding, and they refused to give us. Even the death certificate provided by the US, they are yet to submit, it,” the deceased father stated.

“When the body first arrived in Kenya, they barred us from viewing it. Later, they called us to the Lee Funeral Home, where we confirmed it was our son.”
The family also disclosed that the deceased’s brother, who currently lives in the United States, was likewise denied access to view the body immediately after the death announcement, with authorities asserting he was now in the custody of the United States.
Attendees, who arrived in large numbers to bid farewell to the serviceman, expressed worries about the lack of presence of high-ranking officials from both the police service and the Inspector General’s office.
The family is exploring additional legal options to uncover the truth about their relative’s fate, as they feel let down by the government.
The father recounted his final discussion with the departed individual before they departed for their journey, mentioning that they were accompanied by coworkers on a hastily organized assignment.
“He told us he would not come back home soon because the date of the trip to the US was fast approaching,” the father narrated.
