He had been in charge of the diplomatic mission until her arrival – He was enraged at her appointment because he wanted to continue acting as ambassador – She was found strangled in her bedroom
Court of Kenya found guilty today of an ex diplomat from the Venezuelawho murdered her ambassadress of his country a decade ago, inside her home, in an upscale neighborhood of Nairobi.
Dwight Sagarai, who was first secretary of the Venezuelan embassy at the time, was found guilty of murdering Olga Fonseca in May 2012. Judge Roselyn Korir also announced that three of his Kenyan accomplices were found guilty, while a fourth is on the run an arrest warrant was issued against him.
Sagaray was tried for the murder because she no longer had diplomatic immunity, after Venezuela withdrew her after the case.
Fonseka was found strangled in her bedroom less than two weeks after she took office in Nairobi. It was preceded by the surprise flight of the previous ambassador who was accused of sexual harassment by a domestic worker. Sagarai, who had been heading the diplomatic mission until Fonseka’s arrival, was angered by her appointment because he wanted to continue acting as ambassador. Judge Korir explained that only he would benefit from the murder. There were also indications that he tried to prevent Fonseca from taking office.
The sentence to be imposed on Sagarai and his accomplices will be announced later.
