Yesterday an Eldoret court ordered the detention of five suspects in the murder of LGBTQ activist Edwin Kiprotich Kiptoo, also known as Chiloba. Kenyans are all legally innocent until proved guilty in a court of law, including Chiloba's lover Jacton Odhiambo. All Kenyans are equal before the law and all Kenyans deserve protection. We should not forget that many cases of domestic violence between men and women also go unpunished because they are wrongly considered to be private and normal. So while the police deserve praise for their swift investigation of the Chiloba murder, they should follow up all cases of domestic violence equally quickly.
