A preliminary autopsy on the body of International Criminal Court witness, Meshack Yebei, conducted at the Voi County Referral Hospital mortuary Friday, has not determined if he was murdered, or killed by animals.

And the cause of death may not be known soon even as Meshack’s family prepares to take away the body today for burial, because additional tests on tissue samples will take time because of their advanced state of decomposition.
