An autopsy on six bodies of the fatal Nandi plane crash confirmed that the victims died as a result of multiple injuries to the chest and head.
The injuries were in the spinal, chases, and head among other body parts, the postmortem said.
The injuries were sustained during the fatal chopper crash in Mosop, Nandi County.
Chief government pathologist Dr. Johansen Oduor said the victims also suffered serious burns after the chopper burst into flames on crashing.
Among those perished in the crash were; Emurua Dikir MP Johana Ng’eno, Robert Kipkoech Keter, Amos Kimwetich Rotich, Nicholas Kosgei and Wycliffe Kiprotich Rono, as well as the pilot, retired Colonel George Were.
The autopsy exercise paved way for burial plans as investigations into the plane crash continue.
The horrific incident occurred on Saturday in Mosop, Nandi County, as the helicopter crashed and burst into flames on the edge of Chepkieb Forest, at about 4.45pm, moments after attempting to take off from a makeshift landing site near the forest.
Witnesses at the area speculated the accident was caused by poor visibility due to ongoing rains in the area.
The families of the victims attended the exercise.
Ngeno will be buried Friday at his Narok home. The burial plans for the other victims are ongoing.
