The case of Trent Keegan
on 30 May 2008
Freelance photographer
Trent Keegan was murdered on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya. His body was found in a ditch on Wednesday, 28 May. I'm not going to say much more about this at the moment, but I'd like to point you Nairobi-based, Frontline blogger, Rob Crilly who
knew Trent and is
following the case. As are the
Committee to Protect Journalists,
"This is a devastating loss for those who knew Trent Keegan, a photographer who worked to document people in need of a voice around the world," said CPJ Africa Program Coordinator Tom Rhodes. "The Kenyan police must act decisively to bring whoever killed Keegan to justice. Time is of the essence here, as it is in all murder investigations." link
Trent's family have published the message you can see above on
Trent's website. There is an online
book of condolences. A memorial service will be held at
Salthill beach on Tuesday 3 June, 2008 from approximately 9:30pm.
