The mystery surrounding the death of Susan Njoki Kamengere, a 48-year-old medic and mother of three, deepened Tuesday after a post-mortem confirmed she died as a result of manual strangulation. This finding triggers outrage, painful questions, and a demand for accountability from a hospital that admitted her allegedly under force, denied family access, and has yet to explain how a patient under its care was strangled to death inside its walls.
Susan, the CEO and founder of Toto Touch, died last Tuesday, just a day after she was forcibly taken from her Kileleshwa home and admitted to Chiromo Group of Hospitals, Braeside branch, under circumstances her family now describes as suspicious and calculated.
The postmortem was conducted at the Montezuma Monalisa Funeral Home in Nairobi by a team of six pathologists representing the family, government, hospital, and other interested parties.
It lasted four hours and ended in a unanimous consensus that Susan was murdered. "Susan died because of what we call manual strangulation," said Dr Peter Maturi, the family's appointed pathologist.
