Jackton Odhiambo, the key suspect in the murder of LGBTQ activist Edwin Chiloba, will be arraigned before an Eldoret court Monday morning alongside three other suspects who are in custody. Police are expected to submit a miscellaneous application asking for more days to complete investigations before they formally charge them with murder. Chiloba’s caretaker Alex Nyamwea said that Odhiambo called him using Chiloba’s phone on January 4, informing him that he was vacating the house they lived in. The police are investigating a possible love triangle after the main suspect Jackton Odhiambo confessed that he was driven to commit the murder after finding out Chiloba had another partner. During the last hearing in December, an officer told the court that the prosecution of the case might have been premature.
