The family of slain Somali businessman Mohamed Bashir has written, through its lawyers, to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) asking for a public inquest into Bashir’s death.
In a letter addressed to DPP Noordin Haji, through family lawyer Charles Madowo, the family is seeking answers as to the circumstances surrounding Bashir’s mysterious disappearance and death.
They raise the following issues:
Bashir was reported missing at the Muthangari Police Station on May 16. His vehicle was discovered burning at Kibiku area in Ngong, Kajiado County on the same day, and the shell was removed by unknown people.
Somali businessman Bashir Mohammed died from strangulation; postmortem results have revealed.
The postmortem was conducted by Chief Government Pathologist Johansen Oduor on Monday morning at the Umash funeral home in Nairobi.
And while addressing the media thereafter, family lawyer Charles Madowo said the 36-year-old’s body showed signs of torture, including multiple blunt object hits on the head and burn wounds.
“There was also trauma on the head consistent with being hit by a blunt object, there were burns on his body and there was also signs of torture on his toe and nails,” Madowo said.
Further, the family through the lawyers have said they will request the office of the DPP to institute an inquest probe to determine the circumstances of the death of their kin.
