The hearing of six people charged with the murder of former Kabete MP George Muchai resumes today.
Eric Isabwa alias chairman, Raphael Kimani alias Kim Butcher, Mustapha Kimani alias Musto, Stephen Astiva alias Chokore, Jane Wanjiru alias Shiro, Margaret Njeri and Simon Wambugu have been on trial since 2015 when they were charged with the offence.
They have denied murdering the former lawmaker, his two bodyguards and a driver.
Chief Government pathologist Dr Johansen Oduor who gave his evidence last year said Muchai was shot at close range with either a G3 rifle or AK47 gun.
He told the court that the gunshot entered through the right side of his abdomen to his right nipple.
The government pathologist who conducted the postmortem on Muchai's body told the court that the former MP was dressed in a stained black suit at the time his body was taken to Lee Funeral Home in February 2015, for postmortem.
He said Muchai had a white shirt and a white vest.
In his postmortem report, Dr Oduor said Muchai had lost a lot of blood which explained the pale condition his body was in.
He had rib fractures and there was bleeding on both sides of his chest.
The postmortem report indicated that Muchai’s heart was mildly enlarged.
He assumed he might have been hypertensive. His liver weighed 1,500 grams meaning it was fatty. His stomach was normal, it contained food.
