NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Police in Kenya say they have made an arrest in the death of an LGBTQ activist whose body was found stuffed in a metal box. The body of Edwin Chiloba was found Wednesday on a road in the west of the country. Police say a motorcycle taxi operator reported seeing the box dumped by a vehicle with no license plates. The rider reported it to police who were operating a nearby roadblock. A county criminal investigations boss told journalists Friday that one person was arrested after Chiloba’s neighbors reported seeing him and two others move a metal box from the victim’s house.
