On Friday, Mr Msando had appeared for a panel interview on NTV’s
AM Live morning show, where he discussed exhaustively the transmission of
election results on Tuesday next week.
The discussion lasted one and a half hours from 6am to
7.30am.
Later, he was a guest on KTN for some minutes between 6pm
and 7pm where he held a brief demonstration of the system.
He also highlighted the commission’s election preparedness
and the plans it had put in place to ensure the election is credible.
A close friend of Mr Msando said information from a company
that provided a tracking device for Mr Msando’s vehicle said it had been on
Thika Road and later Mombasa Road on Saturday.
The friend said Mr Msando had, two days before he
disappeared, expressed fears for his life.
The friend, who requested anonymity to speak about the
matter, said the deceased had also, in May, reported to the Central Police
Station that he had been threatened.
The body of Mr Msando was picked on Saturday by police
officers at around 10am.
The body was found in Kikuyu, off Naivasha-Nakuru highway,
about two kilometres from the main road. It was picked by two Corporals from
Kikuyu Police Station.
Residents told Nairobi News that that another body was
recently recovered at the same location which was naked save for an underwear.
A cursory look at Mr Msando's remains, now at Lee Funeral
Home, reveals a possible struggle with his killers, who overpowered, hit and
finished him.
The body has visible injuries in the back and left side of
his head and on his belly.
Both hands have cut wounds and the right forearm is broken.
His face has no injury but fresh blood was oozing from the
nose by Monday mid-morning.
The neck also had many injuries, pointing to possible
strangling and bludgeoning by the death squad.
Mr Msando’s brother, Peter Msando said at the City Mortuary
that the family was still in shock and requested that investigations into his
death be speeded up.
Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet has not returned
the <em>Nation’s</em> calls on the death.
Gatundu South MP,
Moses Kuria, who had on Sunday posted a picture of himself next to Mr Msando’s
vehicle, with allegations that he was having fun with a woman, came under fire
on Twitter and Facebook.
“So, this is Chris Msando’s vehicle right now here in
Roysambu. The idiot is enjoying sweet time with a woman. And the story was that
he is privy to “rigging” and he can’t be found. Verily verily I say unto you
Raila. You will not burn this country. Not when I am alive,” Mr Kuria had said
in the post that has since been deleted.
