A post-mortem has confirmed that\u00a0Rex Masai, a 29-year-old man shot by police\u00a0during Thursday’s anti-Finance Bill protests, died from excessive bleeding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Speaking to\u00a0Nairobi News,<\/em>\u00a0Gillian Munyao, Rex’s mother, revealed that reports from both the government and the family’s pathologists indicated that Rex had sustained a fatal wound to his thigh, resulting in significant blood loss.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The post-mortem conducted on Friday was\u00a0delayed for over four hours as the family waited for a file to arrive from the Central Police Station, prolonging their frustration.<\/p>\n

“After the body was brought here yesterday (Thursday), we were told to be here (Nairobi City Mortuary) at 8am, which we did. But we have been waiting here for more than four hours and we are frustrated,” said Gillian Munyao, the deceased’s mother.<\/p>\n

“I am a mother who knows God and I do not want to return evil for evil. Let God fight for me,” she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
