Are grandson's problems appropriate in this context?

[edit]

I removed the following from the main article:

His family's post-colonial standing in Kenya was badly damaged in April 2005, when Delamere’s great-grandson, Thomas P. G. Cholmondeley (in line to become the 6th hereditary baron), shot and killed Samson ole Sisina, a Masai and game warden conducting an undercover poaching investigation of staff on the Soysambu estate. Cholmondeley was not charged with a crime, and many Kenyans were outraged. A year later, Cholmondeley shot and killed Robert Njoya, who was poaching on his property. For this second killing, Cholmondeley was arrested and charged with murder. He was convicted of manslaughter in May 2009, and is awaiting sentencing. [1] As one police spokesman summed up the reversal of the family fortune: :"The Delameres used to be untouchable. But that’s all changed now. Cholmondeley was sentenced to eight months imprisonment in early May 2009 by High Court in Nairobi, presided over by Justice Muga Apondi.The sentence caused wide condemnation from members of public.”[2]

I question the relevance in this context. Of course, this text can be restored; but if so, I would want to see an expanded explanation about why this information enhances the article about a long-dead grandfather? --Tenmei (talk) 20:27, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
