A judge has begun reading out his 320-page verdict in the case of a white Kenyan aristocrat accused of murdering a man caught poaching on his estate.
A white Kenyan aristocrat has been found guilty of the manslaughter of a poacher on his estate in 2006.
Thomas Cholmondeley, 40, a descendant of British settler Lord Delamere, has admitted firing at several dogs in May 2006 but denied killing Robert Njoya.
A judge in Nairobi ruled Thomas Cholmondeley did not murder Robert Njoya in May 2006, but had shot him.
This is the second murder charge the Eton-educated aristocrat has faced.
Mr Cholmondeley had denied murder, saying he had shot at poachers' dogs in a case attracted huge media attention.
His acquittal over the 2005 killing of a Maasai ranger stoked racial tension in the East African country.
The 40-year-old was acquitted of murdering a Maasai ranger in 2005 in a case that stoked racial tension in the East African country.
Assessors' verdict
Thomas Cholmondeley arrived at court in a prison bus amid heavy security for Thursday's verdict, Reuters news agency reports.
If found guilty, he could face the death penalty.
Mr Cholmondeley, accompanied by a friend, came across Robert Njoya, a 37-year-old stonemason and father of four, in a remote corner of his family's ranch in May 2006.
At the time of his arrest, he told police Mr Njoya had three companions and a pack of dogs and he suspected them of poaching a gazelle.
He says he shot at the dogs, killing two of them. Mr Njoya was hit by a bullet, later dying on the way to hospital, but Mr Cholmondeley says he could not have fired the deadly shot.
The trial was watched by a panel of lay assessors - who do a similar job to juries in Kenya - and gave a not guilty verdict in early March. Their verdict is not binding on the judge.
Mr Cholmondeley, a divorced father of two, was acquitted in 2005 of shooting Maasai ranger Samson Ole Sisina.
Although he admitted the shooting, he said he acted in self-defence mistaking the warden for an armed robber.
The case was dropped for lack of evidence and his release prompted national outrage and mass protests from Maasais.
Much of Kenya's most fertile land was given to white settlers during the colonial era and this remains the case 46 years after independence - a fact resented by many Kenyans.
Mr Cholmondeley is heir to a massive 100,000-acre farm in the Rift Valley region, acquired by his great-grandfather the third Baron Delamere, who was one of Kenya's first white settlers.
