The son of Kenya’s main Opposition leader Raila Odinga was found dead on Sunday in his home near Nairobi, prompting a major police investigation and minor unrest in the capital, police and media reports said. Police said Fidel Odinga, 41, who was seen by political observers as a potential successor to his father, returned home on Saturday night after an evening out drinking with friends and was found dead in his bed on Sunday.
“The death... is being treated as unexplained. We are investigating his final movements. A forensic pathologist has been called in and a post-mortem will be conducted to establish the cause of death,” a Kenyan detective said on condition he not be named.
