Family questions death of CIO boss

THE family of the late Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) deputy director (internal), Elias Kanengoni, who was buried at the National Heroes Acre on Monday, has instructed doctors to conduct further tests to validate or not the results of the post-mortem amid allegations of suspected foul play.

Kanengoni’s son Tapiwa yesterday declined to say more on the family’s demands for more tests on the cause of the death of his father, but the late spy agency boss’ close associates are reported to have said they suspected that Kanengoni could have been eliminated.

The post-mortem report released early this week concluded that he succumbed to cardiac arrest, but close family members revealed to NewsDay yesterday that they were eager to establish what caused the heart failure.
