The family of a Grade 8 pupil at Joy Gardens Primary in Tena-Umoja, Nairobi who died mysteriously after allegedly falling from the seventh floor has disputed the autopsy report, citing foul play.

According to reports, the family faulted post-mortem results claiming the defendants’s lawyers had compromised them.

The family insists that the death of the minor did not coincide with the autopsy report, adding that there was no blood at the crime scene, despite the report stating the pupil fell from the seventh floor.

“We objected from the word go…there was no blood at the scene. I don't know what is happening but I pray that justice for my son is given, I don't want money,” said the father to the minor.

“I wasn't consulted but we had a pathologist, we don't know but in pathology, no one writes individual outcomes. We are having a problem, the person who is rep the school came to do pathology.”

While vowing to push for justice for her son, the mother alleged that the defendant’s lawyer hired the pathologist without her knowledge which led to contradictory outcomes.

“This thing is not ending here we are going to seek for justice. DCI said it was not consistent, but here they are saying it is consistent. How do you fall and go on a comma…The results were compromised,” she added.

City Lawyer Danstan Omari who is representing the school maintained his clients are innocent, citing the results of the postmortem, which revealed that the minor’s death was a result of falling from a height.

“Three pathologists, government, family and rep school have agreed bones were broken, front part broken, rib, spinal code and cause of death is a fall from height which exonerates our client,” Omari said.

He further noted that the school would support the family over the death of the Grade 8 pupil.

“The school condones and will support the family. Mambo ya CCTV ni mambo ya DCI but sisi kama shule tutasaidina,” he said.

“We are heading to the court in 10 minutes to ask the court to release our client having been exonerated.”

The school management on Friday informed their family that their 13-year-old son fell from the seventh floor of the school building at around 6 pm on Friday.

Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) visited the school on Saturday to obtain CCTV footage while seeking to establish events to the boy's death.

Following the incident, two directors, and three other people were arraigned on Monday as the prosecution sought 21 days to detain the suspects, pending a probe into the case.

The body of the deceased was moved to Mama Lucy Hospital mortuary.
