Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations have begun the exhumation of the body of interior designer Geoffrey Mwathi, who died in mysterious circumstances.

The exhumation is part of the ongoing investigations into his death, which the DCI has ruled out as suicide and instead believe he was murdered.
