Kenyan court convicts Venezuelan diplomat of murder

A Kenyan court found a Venezuelan diplomat guilty on Wednesday of killing the Latin American country's acting ambassador ten years ago at her official house in Nairobi, the nation's capital.

The first secretary of the Venezuelan embassy, Dwight Sagaray, was convicted of killing Olga Fonseca on July 27, 2012.

Along with Mr. Sagaray, three other Kenyan nationals were charged. They were all found guilty.

Following Venezuela's lifting of the diplomat's diplomatic immunity, he was put on trial for the murder.

According to Reuters, the court determined that Mr. Sagaray was in charge of the mission prior to Ms. Fonseca's entrance and was enraged by her presence because he wanted to keep running the embassy.

The 57-year-old Ms. Fonseca died less than two weeks after

Ms Fonseca, 57, was killed less than two weeks after she started her new role in Nairobi on 15 July.
