Lawyers will boycott duty beginning this morning to protest the killing of their colleague Willie Kimani and his two companions.

The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Isaack Okero has written to heads of various judicial divisions notifying them of the one-week boycott that will paralyse court operations across the country.
