Inspector-General of Police Hilary Mutyambai said he has directed the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to re-open the case into the murder of Agnes Wanjiru in 2012  by a British soldier at its camp in Nanyuki.

“I have directed the DCI to re-open the case and compile all the available evidence and witness accounts and ensure the case is concluded before a court of law. I am also urging the UK government to collaborate with us to conclude the case and administer justice,” Mutyambai tweeted.

This comes as the British High Commission in Nairobi said it was fully cooperating with a police investigation into the 2012 murder of a Kenyan woman who was last seen with a British soldier.

The 21-year-old Agnes Wanjiru was found dead nine years ago.

She had reportedly been at a hotel in Nanyuki with soldiers from a nearby British army base.

UK High Commissioner to Kenya Jane Marriot had earlier promised support to Kenyan investigation agencies into her murder claims.

“I can assure Kenyans that the UK is fully cooperating with the investigation and will help in any way we can,” Marriott said.
