A Chinese family has been awarded Sh25 million compensation for their daughter who was killed by a hippopotamus at Lake Naivasha while on holiday six years ago.

High Court judge Jacqueline Kamau said the amount will be paid by Lake Naivasha Country Club, which was “negligent” and did little to prevent the attack.
