Delamere case in Kenyan court V (source:channel 4 news )

Land issue
We left the bustle of Nairobi and head to the Rift Valley and the vast open land of Chomondleys estate, Soysambu.

This was originally Masai land. They claim it was stolen from them at the beginning of the last century and they now want it back.

A local MP told us: "Kenyans value land. When you own land you feel you have a sense of belonging. We have a lot of squatters, people who don't own land anywhere. When they look out and see this large expanse of land owned by one individual obviously questions will be raised about how fair is that."

Lady Delamere said: "The Delameres believe this land issue is playing in to the fate of their son, but to them Soysambu is the family seat, and has been for generations."

But Tom's relationship with people on the estate changed dramatically two years ago. It's April 2005 and a group of armed men are holding up some of the farm workers who have a dead buffalo at gunpoint.

Cholmondley hears there's a robbery taking place and takes a friend who's staying on the farm with him to sort it out. As they approach, Cholmondley says, someone inside fires a shot at them - they return fire. One of the supposed robbers is shot dead.

This provoked outrage as two hours later the police established the robbers had been working undercover for the Kenyan Wildlife Service.

Hostilities increased when a murder charge against Cholmondley was suddenly dropped - people lost faith in Kenya's legal system.

Less than a year later poachers were on this remote part of the estate at dusk hunting impala. According to them they hung an impala on a wire. Tom and his friend Flash Tundo were walking nearby when they heard voices and dogs barking.
