Detectives reconstruct slain model Edwin Chiloba's last movements

Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) spent the better part of Thursday tracing the last moments of slain model Edwin Kiprotich alias Chiloba.

In tow was the main suspect in the murder, Jackton Odhiambo, who was assisting police in the investigations.

Forensic experts from the homicide department of the DCI began their assignment at the Noble Breeze Apartments along Iten - Eldoret road.

The late Chiloba and Odhiambo shared a house at this apartment building; a house that Chiloba is said to have been murdered at before his body was stashed in a metal box and later dumped kilometres away.

Armed with cameras and other equipment which they used to dust the house, the officers took hours combing the scene and collecting any forensic material.

They also recorded statements from witnesses including the apartment’s caretaker.

After almost two hours, the detectives left for the scene where the body of Chiloba was discovered along Kipkenyo-Kaptinga road in Kipkaren area on the outskirts of Eldoret town.

The officers processed the scene, taking notes and any detail that can help in the ongoing investigations.

The officers also spent time in a car that is currently detained at Langas Police Station that is suspected to have been used to transport the body from the scene of the murder to Kipkenyo.

Late in the evening, the officers visited the house of Jackton Odhiambo, the main suspect in the murder case, in Kimumu area where they recovered some of Chiloba’s belongings.

The detectives are expected to visit a club where Chiloba and the suspect are said to have partied a day before his murder.
