Govt pathologist Oduor’s relaxing getaway after traumatic post-mortem
Hotelier Mohammed Hersi has offered Government Chief Pathologist Johansen Oduor a two-day holiday trip to a safari lodge in Tsavo, Taita Taveta County.
Hersi, through his X account on Friday, announced that he would be covering all expenses for Oduor’s getaway to Salt Lick Safari Lodge.
Expressing admiration for Oduor’s selfless dedication, Hersi stated:
“This man is not in it for the money. The late Waeni’s case has truly traumatised him, and he deserves a break with his better half.”
The offer comes in recognition of Oduor’s post-mortem examination on Rita Waeni’s body.
“He will have a weekend at @SaltLickLodge to relax and unwind,” Hersi added.
Oduor is expected to be picked up from the train at the Voi SGR station for the trip, which includes a stay at the renowned Salt Lick Safari Lodge and its sister lodge, Taita Hills Safari Resort and Spa, both located within Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary.
Hersi concluded his offer by expressing a wish for Almighty God to give the pathologist strength in continuing to serve humanity.
Johansen Oduor, a renowned government pathologist known for his work on high-profile cases, recently conducted a post-mortem examination on Rita Waeni’s body.
He expressed shock over her death and revealed details from the examination, highlighting the missing fingernails as a perplexing element.
“The person who did all these also tried to clip off the fingernails for reasons which I might not be able to know,” Oduor shared with reporters. He pointed out that such actions could be an attempt to hide evidence, making it challenging to obtain DNA from the victim.
The findings have left detectives puzzled, and the motive for the killing remains undetermined.
Oduor emphasized the significance of fingernails in investigations, as they can contain DNA evidence from struggles during the incident.
