Edwin Chiloba\u2019s death has had a huge impact of how stereotypes view the queer community. It’s been an endless colloquy that has inadvertently pulled most people to share their sentiments.<\/p>\n

Chiloba’s body was found in a box after it was dropped by the side of the road from a moving vehicle with no license plate in Uasin Gishu county in the country\u2019s west. Peter Kimulwo, the county criminal investigations officer, told reporters that residents reported a foul smell coming from the box and that when officers opened it, they found his\u00a0 body wrapped in a woman\u2019s dress.<\/p>\n

Police arraigned the prime suspect, 24-year-old Nairobi -based freelance photographer Jackton Odhiambo, who claimed that he murdered him for cheating<\/p>\n
