A British businessman accused of murdering his Kenyan girlfriend could be set free after woman's family asked the case be dropped. Grace Wangeci's family called and said her death was "not intentional" but an accident. Lawyer Patrick Ngunjiri who is representing Wangeci's family, told the judge that her family had sent a letter to DPP on November 16 requesting the matter to be dropped. But the lawyer refuted claims that the family might have been given some compensation to drop the case, adding "They are doing it voluntarily".
