A Kenyan magistrate says the cause of death of British tycoon Harry Roy Veevers, whose exhumed body has been in a morgue for 11 years, cannot be determined.
David Odhiambo ordered the inquest to be closed, saying that "due to the level of [the body's] decomposition at the time of exhumation - months after his burial" it was too hard to say what led to his death and "nobody can be called to answer any charge".
Mr Veevers died on Valentine's Day 2013 in the coastal city of Mombasa. He was buried in accordance with Islamic rites and without a post-mortem.
It led to a lengthy legal battle, with his two sons from a previous marriage calling for an investigation into how their father had died.
The sons, Richard and Philip Veevers, who were living in the UK, accused their father's second wife, Azra Parveen Din, and her daughters, Helen and Alexandra, of being involved in his death, allegedly so that they could inherit his multi-million dollar estate. They have vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
