These past few days, the nation has been captivated by a viral story about the brutal murder of a prominent LGBTQ activist.
Edwin Chiloba, a model and LGBTQ activist, was reportedly brutally murdered by unidentified assailants, who then dumped his body by the side of the road in a box.
The student from Eldoret University who had just won the Mr. Eldoret competition was murdered just hours after receiving the trophy.
The crime research unit of the police department arrested a key suspect in the murder and subsequent body disposal of Chiloba yesterday.
Chiloba had posted a touching message on the suspect’s Instagram account just days before his death, showing his love and support.
Edwin Chiloba, whose real name is Edwin Kiptoo, may have been murdered, and detectives have their sights set on one Jacktone Odhiambo.
As the investigation into the tragic death continues, Jackton is currently at the Langas police station.
The stench of a dead rat, according to an eyewitness account, was the cause of complaints from some of Odhiambo’s neighbors.
The smell is what made the caretaker of Noble Breeze Plaza come forward with details after his death was announced.
Odhiambo was seen by the caretaker with a box hours before Chiloba’s body was discovered dumped by the roadside, the caretaker claims.
Due to the fact that his body was rolled up in his duvet and placed in a box, it is unlikely that he was murdered in his own home.
The police have promised to conduct further investigation into the shocking incident, and they are currently on the lookout for several additional suspects.
Kenyans have been urged to come forward with any information that could help authorities apprehend more suspects in the young man’s bizarre murder.
