The police are most concerned about the death of young fashion designer and LGBTQ activist Edwin Chiloba.

Police have identified the body of a man found stuffed inside a metal box along the Kipkenyo-Kaptinga Road in Uasin Gishu County as LGBTQ+ activist Edwin Chiloba.

The body of Edwin Chiloba, a young fashion designer and LGBTQ activist, was discovered dumped by the side of the road near the town of Eldoret, and the Kenyan Police are now investigating his death.

Mr. Chiloba was well-known on the streets of Eldoret Town for frequently wearing women’s clothing and posting pictures on his official social media accounts.

His final Instagram post, published on December 29th, 2022, stated that he planned to expand his fashion business and collaborate with well-known companies in 2023.

What was the Cause of Death for Edwin Chiloba?

There is no known motive for the murder, according to a police spokesperson quoted in the Star newspaper.

Rights groups in Kenya, where gay sex is illegal, however, link it to his sexuality. According to one estimate, more than half of Kenya’s LGBTQ population has been assaulted.

The rights organization galck+ stated on Twitter that they couldn’t even describe how they felt as a community at the time.

While Kenya’s LGBTQ community mourns the activist’s death, police have begun an investigation into the brutal killing.

Chiloba is remembered on social media as a remarkable person and a legendary fashion designer.
