Msando until his death was electoral commission IT manager. IEBC chairperson Wafula Chebukati said that "there was no doubt he was tortured and murdered"

Police said on Monday that the bodies of Mr Msando and an unidentified woman had been found in the Kikuyu area on the outskirts of Nairobi and taken to the city mortuary.
