Khalwale’s Bull Caretaker Finally Laid To Rest After Controversy Over Cause Of Death

Kizito Moi Amukune, who passed away on January 27th, 2024, was laid to rest in his home village on Monday, February 5th. The burial was initially postponed due to conflicting reports surrounding the cause of his death.

It was alleged that Khalwale was involved in the death of Kizito, but following a second autopsy conducted by government officials, authorities confirmed that Mr. Amukune died from injuries sustained in an animal attack. This finding aligns with initial reports and brings closure to the family and community.

“The [first] autopsy was performed by local pathologist Dr Dickson Muchana, however, there were some complaints which led to us being called here to do a repeat. From my findings, the late Kizito had injuries, one injury was of the forehead on the right side, and the ulterior neck on the inner thigh of the left leg, looking at these injuries, they were penetrating and had features which included bruising around them and to look at them closely, they look like injuries which were caused by something penetrative but not very sharp, something a bit blunt, which is in-keeping with a horned animal,” Oduor stated.

Khalwale denied the murder claims, saying he had been forced to suspend burial plans for Moi to allow the police to conclude their investigations into the incident.

“Following wild, baseless, and false claims by some pseudo-politicians in Kakamega, I’ve today been forced to indefinitely postpone the burial of my trusted fighter bull caretaker,” Khalwale said.

The caretaker was finally laid to rest yesterday.
