Samuel Wanjiru, according to the senior doctor who performed an autopsy on the remains of the Olympic Marathon champion was bludgeoned to death. The specialist was categorical that Wanjiru did not infact die from falling from the balcony.The former Government Chief Pathologist Moses Njue told the inquest into his death that he was hit on his head with a blunt object which resulted in his death.

Wanjiru died on May the 15th 2011.

"I am convinced the deceased was hit after he fell to the ground. The height of the deceased and where he fell from was not enough to generate the momentum to kill him.

He landed on his four limbs (cat style) from the balcony and was able to stand upright. He was hit on his head and that is when he staggered and fell backwards and had his head hit the cement."
