A court hearing opened in Nairobi on Wednesday into a lawsuit over the 2012 death of a young Kenyan mother who was last seen alive with a British soldier.

However, the hearing was almost immediately adjourned until May, prompting criticism from the victim's family who has long sought justice over her killing.
