NAIROBI FRESH demonstrations are expected here this week following the death in suspicious circumstances of a Kenyan student leader, writes David Orr.
Solomon Muruli, whose funeral took place yesterday, was found dead after a fire burned out his room at a campus outside the Kenyan capital. Fellow students say they heard a blast coming from the room. Mr Muruli had recently received death threats. An independent police investigation has been called for by the family of the dead student.
Last year Mr Muruli went missing for a week before being found badly injured in a church compound. He claimed he had been abducted and tortured by the police.
Results of a post mortem examination, attended by a pathologist from the human rights organisation Amnesty International, are expected in about a week.
