Nairobi, 7 May-(ANA)-A judge has begun reading out his 320-page verdict in the case of a white Kenyan aristocrat accused of murdering a man caught poaching on his estate.
Thomas Cholmondeley, a descendant of British settler Lord Delamere, has admitted fatally shooting Robert Njoya in 2006 but said it was self-defence.
This is the second murder charge the Eton-educated aristocrat has faced.
His acquittal over the 2005 killing of a Maasai ranger stoked racial tension in the country.
That case was dropped due to insufficient evidence and his release prompted national outrage and mass protests from Maasais.
If found guilty, Thomas Cholmondeley could face the death penalty.
Much of Kenya's most fertile land was given to white settlers during the colonial era and this remains the case 46 years after independence - a fact resented by many Kenyans. (ANA)
