Former Prime minister Raila Odinga has called on international investigative agencies including Interpol to lead the ongoing probe into the death of Paul Gicheru.
Moreover, Lawyer Paul Gicheru who was a witness at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague was found dead in his house on Monday, September 26.
According to the Azimio leader Gicheru’s mysterious death raised serious questions which must be unraveled soonest to avoid a cover-up.
“This pattern of mysterious and unexplained deaths, some of them gruesome and macabre, is extremely disturbing,” Raila noted.
Furthermore, Mr. Odinga stressed that the international probe is important as some witnesses of the court had also mysteriously died.
Nevertheless, Paul Gicheru surrendered to Hague authorities in November 2020 after evading an arrest warrant issued in March 2015 for years.

He was accused of interfering with witnesses in the case against William Ruto, journalist Joshua Arap Sang and Henry Kosgey that emanated from the 2007 – 2008 post-election violence.
Nonetheless, the case was terminated about a year after a similar suit against former President Uhuru Kenyatta was discontinued in March 2015.
