The new revelation prompted the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and Odhiambo’s family to seek access to the park.
Upon their arrival, however, KWS officers denied them entry to add to the already rife speculations of foul play.
“DCI officers who should be able to process a crime scene are told you cannot process this crime scene because it is a protected area and we are the people protecting it, we must give you approval to get into this so that you can carry out your investigation,” Abuya said.
