Body of missing businessman Bashir Mohammed found in Kerugoya Level 5 Hospital Mortuary

The body of Bashir Mohamed has been found at Kerugoya Level 5 Hospital mortuary.

The Somali-American businessman went missing from Kilimani in Nairobi on Thursday, May 13.

Bashir’s body was retrieved from River Nyamindi last Sunday, May 16, where it had been dumped by unknown people.

Kirinyaga county criminal investigating officer (CCIO) Kiplagat Korir who spoke to The Standard said they took the body to Kerugoya Level 5 Hospital mortuary awaiting identification.

Police say it took time to identify him as his face was disfigured and he had injuries on his body.

Korir said they took fingerprints from the body for identification and that is when it was established to be Mohamud Bashir Mohammed.

“We were informed that there was a body at River Nyamindi’s bed, that is Sunday last week (16/05/2021), we visited the scene where we collected the body and booked it at the Kerugoya morgue. Since it was naked and did not have any documents for identification, we took the fingerprints for identification. The details came late last night (Saturday 22/05/2021), showing that it was Bashir’s,” said Korir.
