During his visit, the deputy head of mission held meetings with officials of the Kenyan Community Association in Torit, visited Torit State Hospital and held a meeting with a Dr. Gerry who treated the deceased at the hospital. He also visited the premises of the late Dr. Matu called Sky Pharmacy at the market center in Torit, interviewed several Kenyans operating pharmacies in Torit and also held meetings with State Government officials including the Attorney-General, the State Minister for Public Administration and Internal Security and the Deputy Governor of Eastern Equatorial State. From the meeting and interviews, the deputy head of mission established that Dr. Matu was taken into custody on Friday, 3rd August, 2012.
