Chiloba's body was found last week in a metal box, dumped on the roadside near the western Kenyan town of Eldoret, where he was a university student.
The murder drew global condemnation, with human rights groups linking it to his sexuality.
But police have not done so, and have not yet given a motive for the murder, but they have arrested five people in connection with the murder, including Chiloba's long-time friend Jackton Odhiambo, whom police have described as the main suspect.
Netizens reacts:
๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ข: It hasn't been an easy journey for friends, family and relatives it is very painful to say goodbye regardless of what the person did, farewell thee.
๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ: Despite his life choices he was still a human being ,so painful .no one should mock his death.
๐๐ฒ๐๐ซ: Funny how people are making fun out of this....sinners judging other sinners for sinning differently!!
