Nairobi
Tom Cholmondeley has done it again. The scion of Kenya’s Delameres has shot dead another black African trespasser on his Rift Valley farm. This is his second in a year. Kenya’s authorities, which gave up trying to pronounce his name and settled for ‘Tom Chom’, let him go first time. That won’t matter on this occasion as I reckon Tom may be sharing his cell for a long time with a very large fellow convict who will insist on calling him Tinkerbell. That’s if he stays alive.
I don’t know how or why Tom Chom has to shoot people. I have managed to get through life in Kenya without shooting a single person. I don’t believe Cholmondeley is a psychopath. We shall have to see what happens in the courts, if he can be accorded a fair trial in today’s Kenya.
