Odour on Wednesday said that a post-mortem conducted on the deceased showed that he was suffocated to death after his mouth and nose were stuffed with bits of clothing from jeans and socks.
"From our findings, the late Edwin died because of asphyxia. He had a piece of jeans trouser and socks which were tied around his mouth and nose. He also had cyanosis when you look at his fingernails; they were bluish in discoloration, an indication that he was lacking oxygen when he died," Oduor stated.
"The eyes were not gouged out, it was presumed so because of decomposition which makes the eyes appear as if they have been gouged out," he said.
