Tycoon’s widows lay claim to multi-billion shilling estate

A multi-billion shilling estate dispute between two widows of alleged terror financier Shahid Bhutt, took a new twist after Mombasa High Court ordered that it proceeds to full hearing.

Justice Edward Murithi dismissed an objection by the deceased’s first wife Akhtar Bhutt, seeking to halt the matrimonial property dispute. Akhtar had raised an objection against an application by the second wife Regine Bhutt, who moved to court to lay claim to the deceased’s multi-million property.
