Albert has left behind a 3-year-old son. We must make sure this child is never in want. Let him grow up knowing his father was a hero. You can send your support to 0727927898 (NAME: MESHACK OPIYO).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, a post-mortem conducted on Tuesday revealed that Albert Ojwang died from blunt force trauma to the head, neck compression, and multiple soft tissue injuries\u2014all pointing to a violent assault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These findings sharply contrasting with an earlier police report that suggested Ojwang’s death in custody was self inflicted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nairobi, June 11- Kenyan comedian Eric Omondi has issued an emotional update following his recent appeal to help Meshack Opiyo, the father of the late Albert Ojwang.
