A court in Kwale has released two foreigners charged with the murder of a British soldier in 2013.
Kwale chief magistrate Doreen Mulekyo said there was not enough evidence to convict Thomas Sollacher and Edardo Vasta - both British nationals - for the killing of John Marley.
“The prosecution failed to prove the charges against the accused persons beyond a reasonable doubt and acquits them of the charges,” Muleyko said.
Marley died in Diani Marine Park after touching a faulty switch at the hotel, where Sollacher was the CEO and Vasta the diving instructor.
They were both charged as responsible for Marley's death.
