Saturday Nation also reported that Mutula woke up and was seen in the swimming pool that morning. The initial reports did not mention him waking up.

Police collected thirty-seven samples  from the his Maanzoni home to help them unravel the death of the  64-year-old senior counsel.Among samples collected was from mineral water on his bed side,a can of pepsi Cola,the maize and beans meal that he last ate with roasted beef.

He was angry with workers who had already talked to the media and journalist claimed he assaulted a journalist and two workers at the home. This report has not been published by the media.

Is the woman and Viagra angle a ploy to deflect attention from the real cause of death? Did the beating up of journalist and workers silence them to share what they knew and cover up the real cause of death? Is the delay to release the initial postmortem result a ploy to cool down things by family?
