Tom Osinde, former treasury official died from two slash wounds that damaged the brain and injured the spine according to autopsy report.
Tom Osinde suffered injuries to his head inflicted by a heavy object, according to an autopsy conducted on Friday, June 30.
The wounds harmed the spine and damaged the brain, according to government pathologist Dr. Johansen Oduor, who performed an autopsy on Osinde’s remains at the Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital.
The slash wounds ran from the back of the head to the spine, injuring the spine, while the other slash wound went deep into the brain.
The autopsy, which lasted for one and a half hours, was aimed at helping homicide detectives piece together the events that led to his untimely death and solve the murder puzzle.
Speaking to media, Martin Nyaguto, the head of Homicide at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) added that the blows were likely caused by a blunt object.
“The body had injuries which suggested that Osinde experienced cruel death due to beatings, especially around the head,” Nyaguto added, highlighting the severity of the case.
Osinde, a former Treasury employee, was reported missing by his family on Thursday, June 22, two days before detectives traced his abandoned car to Narok County.

His body was later found at a local morgue in Migori, marked as an unidentified individual, John Doe.
According to police reports, the ex-treasury official’s body had a cut on the head, and his hands and legs were tied.
Meanwhile, two suspects were arrested in relation to the murder, with police stating that the heinous act may have been committed at Osinde’s Nakuru home.
The main suspect in the case was reported to have driven the deceased’s Landcruiser to his other home in Kisii, where he sought neighbours’ aid to clean it.
According to the neighbours, the suspect fled Kisii three years ago and only resurfaced days before the murder raising questions about his whereabouts.
Detectives attached to the case were said to have found blood spots in the car, indicating that the suspect travelled with the body to Kisii before dumping it at River Kuja in Migori.
