Kenyan-based lawyer Guy Spencer Elms is facing five serious criminal charges, including allegedly forging the will of the late businessman Roger Bryan Robson, fabricating a false power of attorney, and attempting to fraudulently acquire land in Karen valued at more than KSh 100 million.

A Nairobi court has issued a warrant for his arrest after Elms failed to appear for scheduled proceedings. His legal team claimed he was receiving hospital treatment in London and attending to a sick child abroad, but prosecutors argued he had ignored formal summons.
The charges stem from long-running disputes over Robson’s estate, which includes prime land and other contested properties. Prosecutors allege that Elms used forged documents in an attempt to secure probate rights, though earlier investigations into the matter produced conflicting findings.
The case, which has drawn significant public attention, underscores the deep controversies surrounding inheritance and land ownership in Kenya, particularly in the high-value Karen area of Nairobi.
