Omondi further added that Michael's body had three stab wounds, two on the left side of the chest and one on the left buttock.

"From my findings, the one on the left buttock was deep around 6cm, though it was in the tissue, it did not injure any big blood vessel. On the chest, there was one small injury and another big one, which was around 5cm." Omondi said.

He added that the deceased had a fracture in the fifth rib and a puncture towards the left ventricle of the heart.

"The cause of death was severe haemorrhage following the stabbing from the assault. There were three stab wounds," Omondi added.

The family's advocate stated that Michael's murder was a premeditated plan to eliminate. He explained that this conclusion was derived from the fact that the assailants did not take the deceased's money or mobile phone.

"Based on the area of the stab. I don't want to interfere with police investigations, the part of the body that was aimed at and the strength and the nature of the weapon, it seems even if Mike Omamba had a million in his pocket, these people would have gone ahead and killed this young man," he said.
