Not sure how reliable this is ..... here is a quote from the article ....
Investigators, who are at the crash site where a helicopter crashed in Turkana have revealed that Mr Magonga , flew the helicopter at night in a bush without navigation facilities, contrary to civil aviation regulations.

The fatal helicopter, a Bell 505X, costing about Sh450 million, came tumbling down on Sunday night at Central Island, an area made up of three active volcanoes which emit sulphurous smoke and steam, adding to the gem that is the blue-green waters of Lake Turkana.
