In the two-decade legal battle, Lucy Wanjiku, 51, and her aunt Susan Nyambura, 73, will have to prove their marriage to Joseph Leitmann by giving oral evidence. Wanjiku initiated the suit seeking orders to evict her aunt from their estate in Nakuru and block her from the deceased’s property. The aunt, however, accuses Wanjiku of fraudulently obtaining the grant by making it look like she was the only widow of Leitmann. “The respondent concealed the fact that her aunt was her co-wife and also a widow to the deceased,” submits Nyambura. “Leitmann divorced Nyambura and contracted a marriage with Wanjiku in 1995 after they both had children,” read the documents.
