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.

Why not do a proper report SABC?, that this guy's gay live in lover and boyfriend confessed that he killed him due to infertility. Why not report like it's been reported I'm Kenya and the rest of the world SABC?🤔🤔🤔

LGBTQ has no place in Africa,and most of the African States banned LGBTQ activist It is something which must be practised in Europe or America,not in Africa
