Suspects arrested for murder of LGBT activist in Kenya

Police arrested more suspects over the killing of Edwin Chiloba, whose mutilated body was found on a roadside stuffed in a metal trunk.

KENYAN POLICE HAVE arrested more suspects over the killing of LGBTQ activist Edwin Chiloba, whose mutilated body was found on a roadside stuffed in a metal trunk, media reports today.

Yesterday another three suspects were detained for their alleged role in disposing of his remains, media reports said, quoting police officials. “He died a painful death,” an unidentified police officer based in Eldoret told the media last week. “They must have tortured him and then gouged out his eye. It appears he was strangled.”

‘Redouble protection efforts’ UN human rights chief Volker Turk said yesterday he was “shaken” by Chiloba’s death. Dersso urged Kenya to initiate a ”transparent, thorough, and prompt investigation” into the murder and bring those responsible to justice.
