NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The family of a Kenyan woman who was killed after a night out with British soldiers 13 years ago requested Tuesday that the U.K. government ensure the suspect is arrested and extradited, one month after a court ruling in Kenya.
British Defense Secretary John Healey met with a spokesperson for the family of Agnes Wanjiru, who termed the meeting as “crucial.”
“We are urging him and the government to do everything in their power to ensure the man is arrested, extradited to Kenya, and faces trial without further delay,” said the spokesperson, Esther Njoki, who is also Wanjiru’s niece.
In 2012, the body of 21-year-old Wanjiru was found in a septic tank in Nanyuki town, north of Mt. Kenya, weeks after witnesses said she was seen leaving a bar with British soldiers.
