An autopsy of the murdered National Land Commission staff Jennifer Wambua’s body shows she was strangled by hands.
The results of the autopsy which was conducted on Thursday at the Montezuma Monalisa funeral home on Mbagathi Way by government pathologist Johanssen Oduor was relayed to the media by lawyer Daniel Maanzo (MP Makueni).
Her family members told the story of a disturbed kin, who felt troubled in her last days, and who had grown fearful of working at NLC. Police yesterday combed NLC offices in Upper Hill for clues on Wambua’s death.
Wambua was caught up in a net of cross-interests involving a corruption case in court, a high stakes succession in her department, and job-related stress that weighed her down.
She went missing from her place of work last Friday and her body was later found by a herdsman in Ngong Forest.
Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi expressed shock at the turn of events and summoned all parties to his court this morning.
Since December, Wambua had been acting as the director of communication following the end of the term of the previous holder of the officer.
Police managed to obtain CCTV footage of last Friday when she was last seen alive at her office. They also took records of all visitors and activities that Wambua was involved in before her killing.
