Sources at the city mortuary said that police took Gichunge’s body to the facility on Friday, January 18, that is two days after the security operation at the DusitD2 hotel had ended.

When the operation ended, police said all the gunmen had been killed.

According to sources who spoke to the nation, the body was taken into the facility in a government car registration number GKB 698B which is reportedly attached to the Kileleshwa Police Post.

The new development continues to send confusion among Kenyans on exactly what happened to Gichunge. Did he escape during the DusitD2 attack, arrested later and killed by police?

Was he really among the attackers who stormed the hotel or was he commanding the operation from a hideout?

The other bodies of the attackers are said to have been taken to the mortuary by Red Cross vehicles on Wednesday moments after Interior CS Fred Matiang’i announced the operation was over.

So, if Gichunge was among those killed at the premise, why did police overstay with his body?

Those are the questions Kenyans are asking themselves.

This writer made efforts to seek an explanation from Douglas Kanja, the GSU Commandant who led the security operation, but calls to GSU head office went unanswered.
