Delamere case in Kenyan court PART 1 source : channel 4 news

The Hon. Tom Cholmondeley is in a Kenyan prison cell, the second time in two years he has been accused of shooting dead a black man.
We're inside the High Court in central Nairobi where the only case Kenyans want to watch is that of Tom Cholmondley - the sole heir to the Delamere estate.This old Etonian is being tried before a judge for the murder of a black man who was poaching on his land. After a three month delay he's come to court to appeal against a ruling that the defence must hand over all witness statements to the prosecution.We have very little idea about what their defence is. After 13 months only the prosecution's case has been heard. Kenyans were aghast as the court described how Cholmondley had gunned down a trespasser as he was running away.
