Dr Moses Njue tribulations did not start with the heart theft charges, he has also suffered fighting for justice Former Chief Government Pathologist Dr Moses Njue is a man under siege with multiple body parts theft accusations levelled against him. On Tuesday May 15 Dr Njue was charged with stealing a heart from a corpse in Nairobi in 2015 at the Lee Funeral Home. Njue's troubles started years back following the mysterious death of Benedict Karau, a polygamous man. When Karau died in 2015, his youngest wife Martha Gakuo, reportedly told the rest of the family members that her husband had choked on food. Some of Karau’s family members highly doubted Martha’s claims and pushed for an autopsy. Gakuo reportedly supported the family's decision to have an autopsy done but insisted on hiring her own private pathologist. That is where Moses Njue came in. The post-mortem, according to reports filed at the Director of Public Prosecution’s office, was conducted by Njue and Sholastica Kimaniat at Consolata Mission Hospital in Meru County. A report was later presented to the family indicating Karau died of a heart attack. However, the family made a fresh discovery. Karau's body had bruises and injuries on his hands and head. The body had also been embalmed. The family, nevertheless, resolved to bury the old man. Dr Njue obtained an anticipatory bail and was therefore not arrested but now the DPP wants the matter revived.
