Edwin Chiloba was a rising star in Kenya’s LGBTQ community. The model and fashion designer was also making a name for himself as an activist. But last week his body was found dumped in a metal box on the roadside near Eldoret and investigations into his murder are ongoing. Initially some people feared he may have been killed due to his sexuality, but police say one of the suspects they have arrested was a friend. His death has brought about a painful time for many in the community. Host: Alan Kasujja Guest: Chris Muriithi
