The findings have intensified calls for an investigation into the circumstances in which Muiruri was shot in Githurai on August 9.

According to police, the shooting occurred during a pursuit after a group of four young men allegedly robbed a passenger in a moving vehicle along a highway in the area.

The incident was reported at Githurai 44 Police Post at about 10:20pm on August 9, police said.

Police had alleged that Muiruri was among a group suspected of snatching a mobile phone from a passenger.

However, Muiruri’s family has disputed the account, with his mother maintaining that her son was shot while on his knees and pleading for his life.

The autopsy findings have now provided a key detail that supporters of the family say could corroborate that account.
