Lamu’s Health
department has distanced itself from
claims that neglect resulted in the
death of a 20-year-old snake bite
victim.
Phillip Murithi died after he was
bitten by a puff udder. His family says
he was neglected and wants the
county to compensate them.
Nyingi was bitten and rushed to
Mpeketoni Subcounty Hospital and
thereafter to King Fahad Hospital
in Lamu, where he died.
But Lamu
county director of health David
Mulewa said their investigations
showed the medics were not to
blame for the death.
