NAIROBI, KENYA, Dec, 18 – Kisumu Chief Magistrate Hillary Oduor was on Friday found dead in his house in mysterious circumstances.

The body of Oduor was found in his River Bank estate house in South B estate, Nairobi.

His female friend who lived with him told Police she came home on Friday and found the door locked from inside.

She added on trying to look through the bedroom window, she saw Oduor seemingly asleep but with foam in his mouth. It was then she called police who broke in and confirmed Oduor was dead.

Police said the body that had no visible injuries was moved to City Mortuary pending investigations.

Some of the major cases the magistrate handled was that in which apostle James Ng’ang’a of Neno evangelism was charged with dangerously driving after his car crashed head-on with a Nissan in 2015 in Limuru killing a woman.

The case is still pending in court.

Oduor served the Limuru Law Courts, Nakuru and later Kisumu where he was the Chief magistrate.

Police said they were waiting for a postmortem examination to determine their next cause of action.
