This condition, known medically as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) leading to a pulmonary embolism, was a direct consequence of a broken leg and fractured ribs Migasha sustained during an assault on December 22, 2025. Despite seeking treatment at Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital, Migasha succumbed to these complications at his home on January 17, 2026.
Regarding the "KDF soldier" mention, family and witnesses allege that the attacker was a serving member of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF). The motive, as suggested in local reports and social media discussions, allegedly stemmed from a dispute over a relationship, which led to the brutal beating captured on CCTV outside a liquor outlet in Umoja One.
The "measuring diameter" claim appears to be part of the viral, often graphic, social media narrative surrounding the incident, but the primary legal focus is the physical assault that led to his death.
The logic of the case has now shifted from a simple assault to a potential murder or manslaughter charge. Because the autopsy scientifically links the fatal clot to the injuries inflicted during the fight, the suspect is legally liable for the death.
Buruburu DCI head Simon Kirui has assured the public that they are tracking the suspect, though the involvement of a military officer often requires coordination with the Military Police, which can sometimes slow the arrest process.
Ultimately, the death of Alphy Migasha has sparked outrage over the perceived "impunity" of security officers. The "concrete facts" provided by the pathologist have stripped away the ambiguity, proving that the trainer did not die of natural causes but from the secondary effects of a violent crime.
As the 14-day mark since his death passes, the pressure on the National Police Service to produce the suspect has reached a fever pitch.
