Opposition leaders have claimed that a police death squad responsible for past extra-judicial executions killed businessman Jacob Juma.

CORD leader Raila Odinga claimed the killing of Juma fit into a disturbing pattern in the aftermath of the 2008 post-election violence, in which “a chain of would-be witnesses were systematically eliminated through extra-judicial killing.” Raila named the 10 whose deaths in the last four years echoed past political assassinations that had stalked the country since independence and over which “no one has been held to account.”
