\u201cWe had come here to witness the postmortem and it was completed by Dr Ndegwa and the family pathologist. We have been given the results that the late Rita died of severe pneumonia,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Njaga mentioned that Rita\u2019s family was satisfied with the results, even as they requested privacy to mourn their kin.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should remember that there is a family that is affected. We thank the media fraternity for their good words towards our sister and friend,\u201d<\/em> the family spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
