Pia, amesema Kamati ya Uchunguzi imeanza kazi ya kufatilia kila kitu kuhusu chanzo cha ajali ingawa uchunguzi wake unaweza kuchukua mida mrefu kwasababu utahusisha kuwahoji mashuhuda waliokuwepo jirani wakati ajali inatokea.

Vladimir Putin says he has sent his condolences to the family of Yevgeny Prigozhin after the Wagner Group leader was presumed killed in a plane crash.
The Russian president said Prigozhin was a talented businessman who he had known since the 1990s.
This is the first time Mr Putin has commented on the plane crash, which happened north of Moscow yesterday and killed all 10 people on board.
If confirmed, Prigozhin's death would leave Mr Putin stronger in the short term - removing a powerful figure who had played an instrumental role in the invasion of Ukraine, and criticised Russia's top military officials.
The mercenary chief had led a brief rebellion in June - demanding the ousting of defence minister Sergei Shoigu as he marched his fighters towards Moscow before calling off their advance.
Prigozhin's right-hand man Dmitry Utkin was also believed to be on board, alongside his security chief Valeriy Chekalov and other lieutenants.
It is unclear why so many high-ranking members of Wagner, who are normally exceedingly careful about their security, were on the same flight.
In televised comments, Mr Putin said they had made "a significant contribution" during the Ukraine war that will not be forgotten.
