Four people have now been arrested in connection to the killing of Kenyan’s famous LGBTQ Activist Edwin Chiloba.
After further investigations, it was revealed that his eyes had been gouged out, before his body was disposed in a metal box by the roadside, local media reported.
Chiloba’s killing has been linked to his sexuality, but the motive is still unclear.
Police gave a statement on Friday that they had detained his long-time friend over his death.
He was identified by police as the main suspect.
Police said they had arrested three more suspects on Saturday, and they had also seized the vehicle thought to have been used to dump Chiloba’s body.
His body was discovered on Tuesday in a decomposed state by the roadside near the western town of Eldoret.
Tributes on social media called Chiloba, who was in his mid-20s, as “an amazing human” and an “iconic fashion designer.”
He moved to Nairobi to study fashion designing and that was where he got famous.
Last month Chiloba posted on Instagram that he was “going to fight for all marginalised people”.
The Human rights groups in Kenya have called on police to be quick to resolve his killing.
