 NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - A descendant of Kenya's first white settlers, whose freewheeling ways inspired the book "White Mischief," was charged with murder Wednesday in a case that has exposed deep resentment about British colonialism in East Africa.
Thomas Cholmondeley pleaded not guilty to killing a black Kenyan on his 100,000-acre property in the fertile Rift Valley — a region once dubbed "Happy Valley" because of the decadent lifestyles of its colonial settlers.
When asked to answer to the charge of murder, Cholmondeley replied: "Not true."
