British Man Arrested for 2012 Killing of Kenyan Woman

A former British soldier, Robert James Purkiss, is facing extradition to Kenya for the alleged murder of 21-year-old Agnes Wanjiru in 2012. Arrested by the National Crime Agency, he appeared in court and plans to contest the extradition, denying the charges. Wanjiru’s body was found months after she went missing, and her family has long sought justice, alleging cover-ups by the British army. An inquest revealed she was unlawfully killed, with evidence suggesting involvement of British soldiers.
