A court has awarded the custody of a child to his mother despite questions about her character.
The woman identified in court papers as XW and her partner, a British national identified as DW, have been fighting for custody of the five-year-old boy.
In the proceedings at the High Court in Mombasa, XW was said to be "immoral and having a bad temper." On the other hand, DW, a detective, is "an ever-absent father because of his frequent travels to Iraq and Afghanistan."
