Justice Odek's Autopsy Results Rejected by DCI ¶
On December 16, 2019, Court of Appeal Judge Otieno Odek was found dead in his house in Kisumu, next to the Central Police Station.
Chief Government Pathologist Johansen Oduor conducted an autopsy on Odek's body at the Aga Khan Hospital on Tuesday, concluding that the celebrated professor died from a blood clot on his right leg.
Oduor stated that the clot choked the heart and blocked pulmonary thromboembolism, causing Odek's sudden death.
However, DCI sleuths have disputed the findings, claiming that they are inconsistent with the crime scene report.
According to sources within the DCI, the judge might have been deliberately forced to take an overdose of sex enhancement drugs by his killers, and after he struggled and died, was placed in a relaxed posture in his bed.
Controversial lawyer Miguna Miguna has also questioned the autopsy results, stating that blood clot is another word for a cover-up.
Justice Odek will be laid to rest at his home in Siaya County this weekend.
