A Kenyan man has appeared in court in connection with a deadly attack on a British couple staying at a safari lodge 30 miles north of the island resort of Lamu.

David Tebbutt was killed in the attack earlier this month, and his wife Judith was kidnapped and remains missing.

But Ali Babitu Kololo told the packed courtroom on Monday that he had been forced to cooperate with the gang at gunpoint, and had voluntarily gone to police the next day to report the crime.

He is charged with kidnapping and robbery with violence.

The couple were attacked on the first night they stayed at the exclusive Kiwayu Safari Village hotel, close to the Somali border.

Kololo used to work at the hotel.

A second man, Issa Sheck Saadi, is expected to appear in court later.
