She was found in a Nairobi morgue on Tuesday after going missing last week.

Caroline Mwatha rose to prominence by investigating, among other things, extra judicial killings by Kenyan police.

Her family and supporters deplore the police claiming  that she died of a botched abortion before any post mortem has been conducted.

The examination has been delayed until Monday.

Human rights groups, including Amnesty International, says this is a cover up and designed to as slur.

They say activists have faced additional suppression and  risk since the Jubilee coalition led by President Uhuru Kenyatta came to power six years ago.
