“We are informed he left his Mpesa shop at Selia hurriedly after making very long calls, only to be found dead, after arriving at the scene, we noticed his left eye had been gorged out, he had bruises around his neck,, his trouser had been torn from behind and an autopsy report indicates he had been sodomized, the report also indicates that he had unknown chemical substance in his stomach that’s likely to be poison, said Dennis Kemboi his brother

The deceased’s mother Pauline Biwot who lives with a disability says despite making reports at Kipkaren Selia police station, no arrests had been made two weeks later,

“I know I am poor and no action has been taken by the police because of that, but as a family, we managed to raise 5000 ksh to fuel the police vehicle in order to move the body of the deceased to the Kimbilio Hospice Mortuary but since then no statements have been recorded from us and neither have any arrests been made with the connection to the death of my Son,” Said Biwott.

Biwott says the family depended upon the deceased for their daily upkeep and they continue to live in fear since they are unaware why Kelvin had to be murdered in the most inhuman way

“I suffer from hypertension and high blood pressure despite my disability, my son has been providing medications for me, he is the only one with a job among my children, we urge the police to arrest the culprits behind the death of my son “Noted Biwott.
