(5 Feb 2018) Kenya police and officials said on Monday that an American investigator into the illegal ivory and rhino horn trade had been found stabbed to death in his house in the Karen neighbourhood of Nairobi.
Nicolas Kamwende, head of criminal investigations in Nairobi, said a family member went to Esmond Bradley Martin's house on Sunday to check on him after he did not respond to phone calls and found the body on a bed with a stab wound to the neck.
Kenya police could be seen attending the property on Monday.
Conservationist Paula Kahumbu said Martin led investigations into the illegal trade of elephant ivory and rhino horn that threatens the two species with extinction.
Kahumbu said he was at the forefront of exposing ivory traffickers in the US, Congo, Vietnam, Nigeria, Angola, China and recently Myanmar.
