Nairobi, Nov. 30 -- A document forensic examiner has defended Kenyan-British lawyer Guy Spencer Elms against allegations that he forged the signature of his rich client, who died 10 years ago, so as to sell two parcels of land valued at a combined Sh500 million.

The examiner, Jacob Oduor, told a court that upon examining various known signatures of the lawyer's client, Roger Bryan Robson, he found that there was no forgery.

Mr Robson, a British tycoon, died in 2012 and left behind the two parcels of land that are at the centre of a court dispute between city businesswoman Agnes Kagure and lawyer Mr Elms, who was Robson's advocate.
