The husband to a middle-aged lady who died in botched abortion attempt whose body was found later dumped along Outering Road in Nairobi is among three suspects arrested by detectives attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
According to investigators, Richard Onyango, the deceased’s husband will murder charges alongside two suspected quack doctors who reportedly conducted the failed operation.
Onyango who is said to have facilitated payment for the botched exercise.
This follows intensive investigations by detectives based at DCI Starehe, who stumbled upon the lifeless body of a middle-aged woman along Outering road on new year’s eve.
They immediately launched investigations following the discovery.
“The body which had been wrapped in a white bedsheet was discovered dumped in a storm water tunnel near Shell petrol station along the busy road, with preliminary findings indicating that the body may have been murdered elsewhere and dumped at the scene by unknown persons,” says DCI in a Twitter post.
“Two days ago, the officers got wind that the body had been disposed at the scene after a botched operation conducted by a suspected quack doctor identified as Richard Orambo, who operates a clinic known as Watergate Medical Centre at Mathare Area 1,” the DCI added.
The quack in consultation with another rogue doctor Francis Messo who runs Busanzi health clinic in Dandora phase 4, are said to have tried in vain to procure the abortion but when the patient developed complications, they opted to rush her to another backstreet clinic in Kiambu.
It is while on their way to Kiambu that the patient lost her life and the trio reportedly dumped her body in the storm water tunnel in a bid to cover their tracks.
The three are currently being processed to answer to charges of murder contrary to section 203 as read with section 204 of the penal code.
