Medscape states that compression can lead to death primarily through oxygen deprivation, which is medically referred to as asphyxia.
In some cases, when the neck is compressed, it can restrict blood flow to the brain, causing a deficiency of oxygen to the brain, which can lead to unconsciousness and ultimately death if not relieved as soon as possible.
Kitavi's body was also partially burnt when his family discovered it.
Sharleene Odoyo, the family's lawyer, stated that they are working together with investigators in their quest to obtain justice for the deceased.
"We are committed to finding justice through the proper legal channels, and we respectfully ask the public and the media to allow the legal process to run its course without undue speculation. Out of respect for the ongoing proceedings and the sensitivity of the matter, we shall not comment on the substance of the case," Odoyo said.
Kitavi divided 60 acres of land before death
New details also emerged showing that the deceased had divided his 60 acres of land among his eight siblings before his death.

CCTV footage shared by police showed the deceased walking with an envelope which had documents of how he divided the piece of land.
His first wife, Dorothy Kitavi, stated that they had several properties, among them being Thome Estate, where he was found dead.
She, however, stated that things changed when Kitavi got married to his second wife.
Moments before his death, Kitavi had printed some documents containing details of how he distributed his land.
The document was reportedly printed at a local cyber cafe, before he was seen carrying it in an envelope heading towards his home moments before he was killed.
At 7:21 pm, Kitavi shared a proposed land allocation document via email. Each of his eight siblings got 7.2 acres of land.
The documents that Kitavi was observed carrying were later found next to his dead body.
