Seven years after the death of former Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo, an inquest has ruled out any foul play. In a ruling dated September 15, Senior resident Magistrate B Bartoo ordered the closure of the matter saying there is no evidence of any cover-up. “I hereby order that this inquest in line with section 386 of the criminal procedure code be closed with no further police action unless any new evidence is unearthed,” the magistrate held. The magistrate added: “The family of the deceased and indeed many Kenyans treated this death with a lot of suspicions, it is important to note that there was no evidence presented pointing a finger to any individual.”The magistrate noted that an independent pathologist, Dr Ian Galder from the UK did not testify or send a report alluding to the alleged interference with the samples.
