Father vindicated as Kenya admits obstructing inquiry

[dArKeR]

The Kenyan government was on Wednesday poised to reinvestigate the murder of a British woman after admitting that the death of Julie Ward was part of its "dark and ugly" past.

In a dramatic intervention during an inquest held in Ipswich 16 years after Ward's death, the Kenyan government admitted there had been "deliberate obstruction" of her father's attempts to discover how she died on the Masai Mara game reserve.

Calling the murder "one of the great unsolved mysteries" of President Daniel arap Moi's regime, the Kenyan minister for justice and constitutional affairs, Kiraitu Murungi, acknowledged rumours in Africa that the son of the former president was involved in Ward's murder.

1. The best paragraph:

The inquest was called after Lincolnshire police were asked to investigate Ward's allegation of an unwitting or deliberate conspiracy between the Metropolitan police, the Foreign Office and the Kenyan authorities to not fully investigate the murder of Ward. The inquest is today due to hear from "Mr A", an MI6 agent who worked in Nairobi at the time of her death.
