By AFPMore by this AuthorThe family of a Kenyan activist who went missing for a week before turning up dead, have questioned police claims she died of a botched abortion, and demanded a post-mortem . Caroline Mwatha went missing last Wednesday, prompting Amnesty International to raise the alarm over her disappearance, given her sensitive work lobbying against extra-judicial killings by police. 'BOTCHED ABORTION'Police announced on Tuesday she had been found at City Mortuary, and that investigations had shown "the intended abortion of a five-month old pregnancy". She has a deep cut on the thigh and stomach, is that abortion?" Mwatha's husband Joshua Ochieng, who has been living in Dubai, was also suspicious: "The body has a very big cut on the thigh, how can that be an abortion?"
