An autopsy report by the government pathologist has revealed a University of Nairobi lecturer’s son died of excessive bleeding due to stomach ulcers and obesity-related complications.
Government Pathologist, Peter Ndegwa, said that the 13-year-old boy, Emmanuel Inyama, whose decomposing body was found in their house, was stressed and weighed almost 100kgs.
The autopsy was done on Thursday, October 25, with the findings contradicting earlier reports by the lecturer, Annah Khahugani’, that the boy had slipped and injured himself.
“He was unkempt. His hair was unshaven. He was not in a very good state and he was very obese. His ulcers could have been stress induced,” Ndegwa said.
According to the government pathologist, there were no physical injuries on the boy’s body which was discovered the caretaker and that malignant ulcers in the stomach led to the hemorrhage.
Police boss Philip Ndolo said Khahugani is under psychiatric monitoring, and they are still conducting investigations.
According to Khahugani’s neighbours, the Class Seven pupil had been withdrawn from school and confined in the house where he hardly interacted with his peers.
She reportedly resorted to offering the minor internal tuition and confined him indoors, with some neighbours indicating the last time they saw the boy was in February 2019.
Those who knew the single mother of one, who lost her husband in 2017, said the lecturer was a talkative woman but her demeanor changed instantly after she allegedly joined a cult.
