Police have opened an investigation into the incident, which has been recorded under Occurrence Book (OB) number 02/11/07/2026.

On Saturday morning, family members gathered at Thika Level 5 Hospital, where they awaited a postmortem examination to establish the exact cause of death as detectives continue with investigations.
