Chiloba’s body was found in a metal box after being dumped out of a vehicle. His death sent shockwaves through the LGBTQ community in Kenya, where homosexuality is taboo and gay sex is punishable by 14 years in prison, although that law is rarely enforced. It said Odhiambo and four other suspects “as per their statements, helped in moving, loading and probably dumping of the metallic box carrying the remains of the deceased from the vehicle”.The suspects were not represented by lawyers. Two of those arrested were minors, according to a source with direct knowledge of the case.
