The Mombasa Law Courts last week declined to decide the final resting place for UK tycoon Roy Veevers whose kin is fighting to have him buried in the UK or Mombasa.
Roy did not leave behind a will dictating his final resting place.
The situation mirrors cases of many families that have been caught standoff when their loved ones die and the kin fight over the right to bury them.
Roy's sons Richard Veevers and Philip Veevers from his first marriage want their father buried in the UK while his daughters Hellen Veevers and Alexandra Veevers from the second marriage want him buried in Mombasa, Kenya.
