Police are investigating a possible case of suspected poisoning in the death of the veteran obstetrician and gynaecologist and ex-chairman of the Board of Directors at Nairobi Hospital, Dr Job Obwaka.
An affidavit filed in court by Sergeant Rhoda Nzioka from the DCI headquarters indicates that samples collected from the house of a woman who was in the company of Dr Obwaka during his final moments will be sent to the government chemist for toxicological analysis.
The woman, Beatrice Wangari, will however remain in custody for 10 days to allow police to complete their investigations.
