A mother and son at the centre of a Sh200 million succession battle will not undergo a DNA test to prove the maternal relationship, a court in Nakuru has declared.

Justice Samwel Mohochi ruled that subjecting Norah Atieno and Kevin Odhiambo to the test will not enrich the determination and settlement of the succession case in relation to the estate of the late Washington Olweny. Atieno, who claims to be one of Olweny's widows, is seeking a share of the estate.
