Kenyan police were investigating the death of an LGBTQ activist whose body was found stuffed in a metal box, as human rights groups on Friday decried the killing.
The deceased was identified as Chiloba and his body was taken to the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital to establish the cause of death.“We don’t know for now why he was killed that way. Experts are handling the matter,” she said. Amnesty International secretary-general Agnès Callamard tweeted that a full and independent investigation into Chiloba's “heart-breaking” killing must be carried out, “leaving no stone unturned.”
