Delemare case in Kenyan Court II ( source channel 4 news)

The case
The man's death - an act of revenge against him for poaching the game on his land. Cholmondley wasn't under attack, he just aimed and fired, claims the prosecution.

Details of this poacher's death provoked a firestorm in the Kenyan media. We asked Cholmondley why he thought he'd been portrayed so badly in the press?

He said: "It's very easy to jump to stereotype if you know nothing about me personally. A stereotype without any truth is nontheless a winner in the court of public opinion."

"I had no idea I'd be involved in something like this. Something which is very political. I'm seeing the darker side of Kenyan life."
