A postmortem examination of the deceased's body found that he died as a result of strangulation.

Sniper had marks on his neck and exhibited indicators of a person who had been deprived of air, according to government pathologist Johansen Oduor, who examined the Marimanti Level 4 hospital Mortuary in Tharaka Nithi, Meru County.

He also had cracked ribs and injuries on his head, indicating that he was strangled before being thrown into a river.
