Detectives on Wednesday visited Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale's Malinya home.

Khalwale through his X handle said the officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations were on a fact-finding mission to investigate circumstances surrounding the death of his farmhand Kizito Moi.

Kizito’s body was discovered on Sunday at the stable of a bull that he is said to have tended to for over 20 years.

The body had multiple injuries believed to have been inflicted by the fighter bull.

Khalwale disclosed that he had since postponed Moi's burial and was cooperating with the police to unravel the truth into allegations leveled against him by "pseudo politicians".

He said postponement of the burial was to allow detectives launch thorough investigations into the matter and reach a satisfying conclusion.

"Following wild, baseless and false claims by some pseudo politicians in Kakamega, I have today been forced to indefinitely postpone the burial of my trusted fighter bull caretaker," Khalwale said.

"Meanwhile, today, I hosted a team of DCI detectives at my Malinya home for a thorough fact-finding mission over the unfortunate demise of the late Kizito Moi Amukune,

"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," the Senator said.

Khalwale on Tuesday rubbished claims doing rounds on social media that he had a hand in the death of his long-time farmhand Moi.

His critics had alleged that there was more to Kizito’s death than has been stated by the senator as accidental.

Kakamega businessman Toto Shimanyula alleged there was a cover up in the incident and invited the police to dig deeper into the matter.

The senator, when contacted by the Star on the viral allegations, vehemently dismissed the assertions.
