Oduor had detailed findings on the cause of the death according to an autopsy conducted on October 29, 2024, at Lee Funeral Home in Nairobi.
He noted bruises on Ayieko’s wrists, consistent with marks from handcuffs, as well as areas of missing tissues on the mouth, ear, and cheek.
“The missing tissues were caused by animal predation at the location where the body was discovered,” Oduor explained. “Water animals such as fish and crabs targeted the softer parts of the body. We even found a dead crab on the clothes.”
The postmortem examination was attended by Ayieko’s family, Siaya governor James Orengo, Alego Usonga Member of Parliament Sam Atandi, and Gem MP Elisha Odhiambo.
On Monday, May 26, the High Court heard from three suspects accused of participating in the brutal killing of Ayieko.

Promised good pay but given no details, the witness met Sisco at Amigos Pub in Mutumbu Centre, where Champee was introduced to him.
Sisco then instructed him to follow a motorcycle carrying Champee. Along the way, the group stopped in a dark area, and Sisco and Champee re-emerged armed and in different clothes.

They proceeded to a homestead where a funeral was underway and abducted a man, later identified as Ayieko, with his head covered with a sack and hands tied.
The group then drove along a murram road and stopped near a mud-walled house, where he recounted seeing a man being led from the vehicle with his hands cuffed behind his back.
Sisco, allegedly holding a gun, instructed the man to walk toward the house.
The witness later drove Sisco to Kisumu for M-Pesa withdrawals before returning to Dudi. He said he only learned of the murder after his arrest.
