Four police officers suspected to have killed a British aristocrat Alexander John Monson five years ago at Diani Police Station in Kwale County will face trial for murder.

Alexander, who was heir to the Monson baronetcy, died chained to a hospital bed hours after being arrested by the police from a club in Diani on May 19, 2012.
