Witness: Kenyan aristocrat shot man by mistake

A rally car driver described on Wednesday how he saw the great-grandson of Kenya’s most famous white settler shoot dead a black Kenyan ”by mistake” in a trial that has awakened animosities from colonial times. Thomas Cholmondeley has pleaded not guilty to the murder of Robert Njoya, a local stonemason he accuses of poaching on his land.
