Kenya: A Kenyan sentenced to death in July 2013 for the murder and kidnapping of a British couple on holiday at the coast, has filed a lawsuit in London accusing the UK Government of torture.

Ali Babitu Kololo, a 35-year-old father of two from Lamu, currently on death row at Shimo La Tewa Prison in Mombasa, was found guilty by a Kenyan court for being part of a gang that shot dead David Tebbut before kidnapping his wife, Judith.
