The homophobic media and conservative groups will try to portray this as a result of a lover's quarrel and use it as evidence that gay people are corrupt and murderous. The arrest is probably a part of that narrative.

We will NEVER know.... a gay man will likely be accused, put on trial and executed, with all this used as proof that gay men are perverts and murderers

I agree with that.

 

But the portion that he was arrested as part of the narrative is an accusation without any basis 

 

Homophobic cops or investigators being biased and more likely to make an arrest is definitely something that must happen... but was it the case in this particular case? It's a big thing to just accuse without any kind of evidence

I agree that it's difficult to know for sure, but we are talking about Kenya, one of the most homophobic and corrupt countries in Africa. There is little hope that the investigation will be fair.

Still yeah, u can not know that for sure. But it definitely increases the odds a lot in a country like that
