Normally, I would say something like that would be relevant, but then again, maybe the writer was just randomly using different races to be inclusive? I just don't know. But why would a githyanki be working as a gravedigger in Baldur's Gate?
I'll admit I was expecting an orc, half-orc or even a goliath. And "hulking" seems an unusual description for a githyanki too. Like you, I'm not sure whether to actually find this suspicious, or whether to just chide myself for jumping to conclusions and pass it off as the world being big enough for an atypically large githyanki with an interesting story behind their name.

I'm guessing it might be like the cemetery, which also appeared a couple of times before we were actually allowed to go there. I'm assuming (hoping) the game is protecting us by not letting us waste time going to a location until we've collected more info that will help us get benefit from it. Same with going back to the hospital, where the journalist told us we now had enough info to put the squeeze on the mortician but can't yet vote to return.
I'm really not sure what to do for the best. Shrine of the Suffering seems the best lead for the meat murder, as it might take us back a step in the supply chain to the dodgy guard, and then perhaps back to the mortician. We could go to Insight Park so we've hopefully got at least a bit more on each of the murders and be in a better position to spot connections, plus interesting to find that killing was by means of a short blade perhaps like the one we found- is that a link between the two earlier murders? Or we could just focus, and keep following the trail of the dragonborn to the Harbourmaster's Office or Trident Lane (though on the latter if the dagger is the Insight Park murder weapon we may want to go there first).
Given that I think that the butcher's murder is still the only other one that has a confirmed link of some kind back to the top-hatted man who might be Fel and almost certainly nicked our unicorn-rabbit foot, it seems as though that might be the most sensible thread to pull on.
But I've plumped for Insight Park despite that, as a prophetic tree might be just the kind of wildcard that could help blow this case wide open!
"You may call it 'nonsense' if you like, but I've heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!"
