Ex-Lancs soldier accused of Kenya murder in court
Lancashire Evening Post
|November 25, 2025
A former Duke of Lancaster Regiment soldier accused of the 2012 murder of a Kenyan woman found dead in a septic tank has been denied bail.
Robert James Purkiss, 38, does not consent to his extradition to the African nation, after the Kenyan director of public prosecutions said he was wanted for the alleged "brutal" murder of 21-year-old Agnes Wanjiru.
In an apparent confession, Purkiss is said to have told a colleague "it was sex that went wrong", a court heard previously.
Purkiss, who is originally from Lancashire, sat in the dock at Westminster Magistrates' Court wearing a grey hoodie with his beard tied in a plait.
