He noted that this will prevent any doubt on pathological report that would be released after the exercise.
The Coroner gave the order on Wednesday after listening to the request of the Alobas which was made following the inability of previous test conducted to ascertain major cause of the singer’s death.
Meanwhile, shortly after the Coroner heard had ruled on the singer’s family request, the deceased wife and her mother requested that the Coroner stopped further investigation and approve burial rites for the late singer.

She said; “I don’t want the autopsy be taken again because they have label me killer, a prostitute over this case, I want my husband to be buried on time before he clocks a year.”
The judge, however, turned down their request, saying, “It is unfortunate now that you are just raising the issue. But for this coronal you are ready to bury the deceased only and only if you and the family agreed to bury him.
“Your warrant to bury him is ready if the family agreed but if not, you can proceed to the high court.”
