The Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) has clarified that a bullet recovered from a patient during treatment for injuries sustained in a shooting incident in Nairobi's Pipeline area remains under police custody. The hospital stated on Sunday that the bullet, which was preserved as part of medical and evidentiary records, was retained following a patient's treatment.
The clarification comes after a bullet reportedly passed through Moreen Nduku's body, striking 16-year-old Abdala Lihan and lodging in his leg. Moreen, a mother of one, died at KNH four days after the attack. The hospital emphasized that such recovered items are handed over to investigating officers for further handling and forensic examination, and they remain committed to cooperating with relevant authorities.
The incident occurred when police officers responded to reports of armed robbers in Gikomba Market, Nairobi, on Monday, August 3.
