Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale has decided to delay the burial of his handler, Kizito Moi Amukune, who reportedly met his demise at Khalwale’s Malinya home in Ikolomani. Mr Moi allegedly met his death when he was gored by Khalwale’s fighter bull, named Inasio.
In a statement released on Wednesday, January 31, Khalwale announced the postponement, citing baseless and false claims made by Kakamega tycoon Cleophas Shimanyula.
In the video clip seen by sauce.co.ke, Shimanyula alleged that Khalwale was involved in the death of Moi. According to Shimanyula, the senator was unhappy with Moi over his extra-marital affairs with Khalwale’s wife.
“Following wild, baseless, and false claims by some pseudo-politicians in Kakamega, I’ve today been forced to indefinitely postpone the burial of my trusted fighter bull caretaker,” Khalwale stated.
The UDA senator also acknowledged that a team of DCI detectives visited his home to investigate the death of the 47-year-old.
“I have readily opened up my home to the police to afford them an opportunity to make credible and conclusive investigations into this sad death, thereby enabling them to pursue the matter to a logical conclusion before burial plans continue,” Khalwale added.
On Monday, Shimanyula urged authorities to probe Moi’s death, suggesting it might be linked to a love triangle.
“He has been claiming in the media and on online platforms that the bull killed the worker. However, there are reports, which I can’t confirm as true, that Khalwale murdered the worker,” Shimanyula stated.
Moi’s body was discovered at the bull’s stall with injuries believed to be caused by the bull’s horn.
Following the tragedy, Khalwale adhered to cultural traditions by slaughtering the bull, which was perceived to have led to the death of his worker.
