Arshad Sharif was fatally shot by several high-velocity bullets, says medical report.

KENYA, NAIROBI: According to a Kenyan medical report, journalist Arshad Sharif died as a result of several wounds sustained as a result of two different high-velocity gunshots.
According to a Chiromo Mortuary pathologist who wrote the post-mortem report for the Kenya Police, the top Pakistani journalist passed away from “gunshot wounds to the head and chest from a high-velocity firearm at intermediate range,” according to a report by Geo News.
The cause of death is listed as “many injuries” in the medical report, a copy of which is accessible with Geo News. According to the report, the journalist’s body was “markedly pale” when it was delivered to the mortuary in Nairobi’s central business district.
The first bullet, according to the report, damaged a significant portion of Arshad Sharif’s brain and left side of the skull, measuring 12 cm by 3 cm. “Graze gunshot wound left parietal area and scalp with penetration of skull creating (part of the skull in the area was gone) stellate wound that measured 12 cm x 3 cm,” according to the report. Thus, the “left parietal” region of the brain was “lacerated” by the first gunshot.
According to the report, the second gunshot caused a 1 cm diameter abrasion-filled wound in the “right upper back.” It was situated 30 cm above the top of the skull and 3 cm from the midline.
The gunshot had “everted edges” and “measured 2 cm by 1 cm from the right side of the chest.” According to the report, Sharif’s “respiratory system” was hurt by the second shooting, and the “penetrating bullet caused harm on the apex of the right lung, right hemothorax.”
The police took Sharif’s body to Chiromo Mortuary after he passed away at Magadi/Kiserian Road on the evening of October 23, 2022, at the hands of officers from the General Service Unit (GSU). Waqar Ahmed, who was not harmed in the attack, was driving the car with the licence plate KDG 200M when Sharif was shot and killed. Khurram Ahmed was in control of the car.
The post-mortem report states that Saqlain Syedah, the Pakistani high commissioner to Kenya, and Muhammad Junaid positively identified Sharif’s body in the mortuary.
Four hours after the incident, at 2 in the morning on Monday, the body was taken to the mortuary. The following day, Sharif’s body was brought back to Pakistan, where tens of thousands of people attended his funeral in Islamabad.
