Unresolved deaths bad for democracy

From Timbuktu to war-torn Goma in the Congo, killing fellow human beings is a capital offence. In fact most societies regard murders and unnatural deaths as elevated forms of criminality.

Sadly, Kenya's expanding list of unresolved deaths and massacres seems to be gnawing at her democracy with a chilling consistency. From our history of investigating deaths, killers have no cause to worry. In fact, deaths of high-profile Kenyans in unclear circumstances have become a political tool for whipping up emotions among the masses.
