Judge seeks arrest of UK citizen over Kenya murder

Agnes Wanjiru, 21, was found dead in a septic tank behind a hotel in Kenya two months after she disappeared in March 2012.

An inquest in 2018 found that Wanjiru, a sex worker, had last been seen with British soldiers who were stationed in the market town of Nanyuki. A post-mortem examination concluded she had died as a result of stab wounds to her chest and abdomen.

There was also evidence that she had been beaten but, because of the condition of her body, it was unclear whether she had been sexually assaulted. The inquest concluded that Wanjiru was murdered by British soldiers after she was discovered near the base.
