A Catholic priest in Kenya is believed to have been tortured and killed for voicing opposition to government brutality.
Father Evans Juma Odour spoke out against police killing opposition protestors. He served Nyabondo Parish in Kisumu county, and was found unconscious with severe wounds to his head, face and hands.
Police took Fr Odour to a local hospital where he is said to have died due to severe head injuries hours later.
The priest is believed to have been tortured by unknown assailants who later left him, severely wounded, at a sugar plantation around 30km from his home. His car was later found burnt out in a separate location.
