Jackton Odhiambo, the main suspect in the murder of Kenyan fashion designer and LGBTQ activist Edwin Chiloba will face murder charges.
An Eldoret based court in a ruling delivered today, freed other four suspects who had been arrested alongside Jackton Odhiambo.
Appearing before Senior Principal Magistrate Richard Odenyo, the four were ordered to report to the police once a month for three months until they are cleared by police.
Earlier, police had asked the court to charge Odhiambo after investigations linked him to the crime after a team of more than ten detectives and homicide team led by Martin Nyabuto visited the crime scene to gather evidence.
Chiloba’s body was found stuffed inside a metallic box along Kipkenyo – Kaptinga road in Kapseret in Uasin Gishu county on January 3, 2023.
Post mortem results conducted on the deceased revealed that Chiloba died from lack of oxygen.
