A woman is in court contesting the wishes and interests of her deceased aunt regarding a Sh100 million estate owned by German tycoon Joseph Leitmann, who was their shared husband.

Although the court ruled that Lucy Wanjiku and her aunt Susan Nyambura were both co-widows of Leitmann, Wanjiku insists that after her death on February 5, 2025, Nyambura will have no claim to the estate.
