British aristocrat’s death: Kenya police to be tried

Four Kenyan policemen are to stand trial for murder after a judge ruled they had a case to answer in the death of British aristocrat Alexander Monson.

The 28-year-old died on the Kenyan coast whilst in police custody in 2012 after being arrested for smoking cannabis.

The police have in the past said Mr Monson died of an overdose, but his family have disputed this.

Two reports by government pathologists said that he had died after suffering a traumatic blow to the head.

An inquest found there had been attempts to cover up the incident, and threats against witnesses.
