Four police officers in Kenya are to stand trial over the death of a British man in 2012 after a judge ruled the case should be heard.
Alexander Monson, 28, died in police custody when he was arrested in Kenya for allegedly smoking cannabis.
Police have in the past said Monson died of an overdose, but his family say he was killed by officers.
Monson s mother welcomed the ruling, saying we hope at the end of day justice for my son will be served .
