Inquest into death of British aristocrat begins

The family of a British aristocrat who died in police custody in Kwale three years ago is pessimistic about a public inquest into his death that begins in Mombasa this morning.

Alexander, the only son and heir to the Monson baronetcy, arrived in Kenya on April 23, 2012 and died almost a month later triggering a pile of contradicting police statements, family denials and conflicting autopsy reports.
