An autopsy on the body of murdered taxi driver Victoria Mumbua Muloki has revealed that she was repeatedly struck by a blunt object before being strangled to death.

Government pathologist Dr Johansen Oduor, who conducted the post-mortem, also revealed that the mother of three did not go down without a fight.

Dr Oduor says her body had physical injuries, implying her killer was intentional. He added that further tests were being conducted on additional samples, which are crucial for investigators to piece together the crime.

While Muloki's family awaits comprehensive results, a dedicated team of homicide detectives is meticulously investigating her murder.

Detectives plan to revisit all crime scenes to gather CCTV footage and forensically link the suspect to the locations.

The suspect, Edwin Ng'etich, has led detectives to various locations, including Mt. Elgon, Butere, Uasin Gishu, and Nakuru, where police have recovered five motor vehicles.

It is believed Ng'etich abducted the owners of these vehicles before stealing their cars. In July 2014, he is alleged to have abducted and killed taxi driver George Njuguna.

Additionally, Ng'etich faces two murder charges and two robbery with violence charges involving taxi drivers.

Police suspect that after abducting his victims, Ng'etich would use their motor vehicles to transport drugs or refugees as part of a human trafficking syndicate.

In his confession, N'getich told police that on September 27, while in Mombasa, he requested a ride from Victoria. Midway through the journey, he attacked her, assaulted her multiple times, and tied her to the back seat of the car.

He then took control of the vehicle and drove towards Nairobi. While passing through Kibwezi, the woman pleaded for her release. He stopped the car, strangled her to death, and continued driving with her body.

Ng'etich eventually drove to Mai Mahiu and dumped her body in a thicket near Lari, Kiambu County. After disposing of the victim's body, he drove her car to Nakuru, where he was arrested and detained.

The police are currently investigating his confession to connect all the pieces of the crime.
