Susan died in Chiromo Hospital Group in Nairobi after she was allegedly forcefully admitted under the orders of her husband.
The woman is said to have been battling depression, which the family noted she had been managing for years and was under prescribed drugs.
Before her alleged forceful admission to hospital, Susan called her sister to report that unknown individuals had stormed her home, injected her with an unidentified substance, and taken her to the hospital.

The family’s efforts to see her at the hospital proved futile, as they were asked to seek consent from her husband.
How did Susan Njoki Kamengere die?
While addressing the press, a pathologist in the presence of the family revealed that a post-mortem had been carried out by several pathologists, all of whom agreed on the findings.
“We have conducted this post-mortem very exhaustively, and all the various parties were represented. We were six pathologists, and we are all in agreement with the findings,” said one of the pathologists.
He noted that there were signs of compression to the neck, which indicated she was manually strangled.
“There were also signs of a lack of oxygen in the blood due to neck compression. All these findings are consistent with manual asphyxiation, and we are all in consensus,” he added.
The pathologist further stated that food was found in Susan’s stomach, indicating she died less than four hours after her last meal.
“She died at the hospital and not on the way there. That is what we were briefed by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), as we were not present at the scene,” he added.

What did Susan Kamengere's family say after autopsy results?
The slain woman’s elder brother, Ephantus Kamengere, expressed gratitude, noting that with the autopsy results, they could now move forward in understanding what happened to his sister.
"I have brought up Susan since our mother died in 1994, so I have been like a father to her all along. We are happy that the doctors have come up with the preliminary results, and as a family, we may also decide to carry out toxicology and other investigations that may help us truly understand what happened," he said.
Ephantus stated that the cause of his sister’s death was no longer based on mere speculation, and they were ready to involve their lawyers to determine the next steps.
He affirmed that the family was determined to bury Susan themselves and were not prepared to surrender her body to anyone else.
"We cannot lose our sister and also lose the right to bury her. We will discuss as a family and decide how to proceed. This is an instruction to Montezuma Funeral Home not to release Susan’s body before we make our decision," he added.
What did Susan Kamengere's sister say?
A few days ago, Susan's sister narrated how she was barred from visiting her sister after she was allegedly admitted to the hospital against her wishes.
Her sister revealed that after she arrived to visit her, she was prohibited from accessing the premises and was denied access to her sister.
"We were told that no visitor would see my sister unless her husband allows," she claimed while demanding justice for her.
What did Susan Kamengere tell friend before death?
In related news, TUKO.co.ke reported that Susan’s close friend, Muthoni Wa Kirumba, alias Baby Top, shared a WhatsApp conversation with her following her untimely demise.
In the chat, Susan spoke about an opportunity she had received in the United States, expressing her excitement and revealing that she had even planned to invite Baby Top if she moved to the States.
However, she was unable to go as she fell ill, was hospitalised for an extended period, and the opportunity was eventually cancelled.
Racheal Nyaguthie, HoD Human Interest, added details on Kamengere's sister.
