Jacktone Odhiambo, a photographer and long-time friend of Edwin Chiloba, has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for the murder of the LGBTQ+ activist.
The High Court found Odhiambo guilty, despite his denial of the killing, with DNA evidence revealing an intimate relationship between the two men.
Chiloba's body, discovered in a metal box, showed signs of severe violence, including gouged eyes and smothering. The motive remains unclear.
The case has intensified discussions around LGBTQ+ rights in Kenya, where homosexuality is illegal and previous attempts to decriminalize it have failed.
