On 3 August 2017, an autopsy on Maryanne Ngumbu confirmed that the 21-year-old was strangled, deepening the mystery around the deaths linked to the case involving ICT director Willy Kimani.
Ngumbu’s body was found together with that of Msando, and the post-mortem outcome established that she did not die from natural causes. The finding pointed to deliberate violence and supported the allegation that she was killed by suffocation.
The source material does not provide further details on the investigators’ findings, any arrests, or a formal response from the people or institutions mentioned. What remains clear is that the examination ruled out an accidental death and placed strangulation at the center of the case.
