KENYA: The family of a policewoman killed in Mombasa two years ago broke into celebrations in court after a man charged with her murder was sentenced to death.

But their honey turned out to be Abduba Guyo Wada's poison. Mr Abduba almost fainted after the judge found him guilty of murder and sent him to the gallows, as the law demands.
