At the time of his death at his Nairobi home on Monday evening, lawyer Paul Gicheru was still listed as "In ICC custody" on the International Criminal Court website.
Though released from The Hague-based court early last year, the man kept to a strict regiment of release condition which technically placed him in the court's custody.
Gicheru was released on February 1, last year after depositing Sh1 million in security, agreeing to comply with court orders, keep off witnesses, avoid commenting on merits of the case in public and to reside in Kenya at "a specific address for the duration of the proceedings."
