A court in Nakuru has ordered a woman to produce the death certificate of one of two Friesian cows at the centre of a dispute between her and another woman.

Ruma, eight years and Lelgina, nine years, were subjected to a DNA test on August 28, 2020, after Gloria Kandie and Ann Cherotich claimed ownership. On Friday, Kandie, who has been in possession of the two cows, informed Senior Resident Magistrate Emmanuel Soita that Lelgina had died.
