The family of the late Hanington Were, the 39-year-old son of former Matungu MP David Were, has alleged foul play in his murder after a post-mortem examination contradicted earlier claims about how he died.
An autopsy conducted on Tuesday revealed that Hanington, an employee of the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) based at Kisumu Huduma Centre, died from multiple stab wounds and not a blow to the head from a blunt object as initially reported.
Speaking after the examination at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTRH) morgue, former MP David Were said the findings had changed the direction of investigations.
“My son was killed on Sunday, May 24. Initially, we were told he had been hit on the back of the head and collapsed, but doctors have now established he sustained three major stab wounds that caused severe internal bleeding,” he said.
