Oduor who conducted the postmortem at Shalom Community Hospital on Friday, June 4, further explained the little girl’s nose and mouth were blocked hence her inability to breathe.

Nzembi went missing on Saturday, May 29, after she left home to play with her friends in the neighborhood.

Her distraught mother Christine Ngina recalled receiving a phone call from a woman who demanded ransom so that she could free Nzembi.
