How did Kitavi's son find his dad's body?
"I saw my father's body without clothes lying on the floor, burnt with serious neck wounds and blood coming out of his nose and head. It was a really dark picture."
According to his daughter, Kitavi was chairman in Komarock residents for very many years, even before becoming the chairman of the board of trustees.
"My dad was involved in so many things in the community, here in Komarock and has a bit of a legacy.
According to CCTV footage, two men are seen strolling to Kitavi's house at about 7.30 pm. At around 8.00 pm, Kitavi strolled casually to the house with no care in the world.
At around 8.40 pm, the first suspect comes out, and at 8.41 pm another follows him. Those were the clips used to arrest Stephen Kioko, his step-son.
How was Kitavi's step-son involved in his death?
According to Alloyce Bett, the DCIO of Kasarani sub-county, the stepson was caught on camera and recognised by eyewitnesses as being around when Kitavi was murdered.
The Komarock Residents' Association called for speedy investigations into the matter.

By the time it was 10 pm, they grew anxious, because it was uncommon for Kitavi to be out late.
The family would later stumble on his remains 25 metres from the homestead, and the condition of his remains showed his attackers had partially set them on fire.
Meanwhile, Kitavi's friends and family have taken to social media to mourn him. Here is what one of them had to say:
Churchill said:
"This life has sad moments. I am saddened by the abrupt death of a dear friend, someone we would sit, analyse issues objectively, agree and disagree on principles. Continue resting in peace, Allan Kitavi. Those who committed this heinous act will never find peace, not in this world nor the world to come. Soo sad."
