Some Kenyans are online now calling for the release of Beatrice Wangari, the woman who spent the last moments in bed with Nairobi Hospital Dr Job Obwaka before he died.
According to affidavits by the investigators, Wangari and Obwaka, a gynaecologist by profession, got intimate before he collapsed.
Post-mortem on Dr Obwaka’s body established that Obwaka died of cardiac arrest linked to heart problems that he had been battling, pathologists have revealed.
Three pathologists led by Dr Johansen Oduor, Peter Ndegwa and Joseph Ndung’u who conducted the autopsy at the Lee Funeral Home in Nairobi unanimously concurred with the findings.
“We have all concurred on the cause of his death, he had a cardiac arrest as result of a heart problem that he had,” Dr Ndegwa explained
“However, despite the fact that he had a heart problem we are still going to do some analysis because we have taken some samples,” he added
Lawyer Levi Munyeri who was at the Lee Funeral acting for Wangari said that the outcome of the autopsy was enough for his client to be set free.
“Now that cause of death points towards heart condition, preconditions relating to the heart, and therefore it does not point towards foul play specifically by my client Beatrice Wangari, that is the purpose of post-mortem,” said Munyeri
“The consensus among the doctors in the room should be sufficient to stop the investigations against Beatrice, she is not in any danger,” the lawyer added
Munyeri added that his client was only unlucky that a tragic thing happened in her house.
“No one wants to hurt Beatrice, is safe and sound, we also saw that she will be subjected to mental examination, that is another form of nonsensical issues that should not arise in the cause of investigations,” the lawyer added
Obwaka, 83 died on Friday, May 1, 2026 in Kitengela in what the Directorate of Criminal Investigations have said he was in the company of lover, Beatrice Wangari
