One of the women claiming to be a widow to the late Nakuru tycoon Washington Olweny, whose Sh200 million estate is at the centre of a bitter succession battle, risks being jailed for contempt of court.

The woman, Norah Atieno, reportedly refused to undergo a DNA test even after three court orders were issued by Justice Teresia Matheka.
