A British army officer was reportedly bragging of killing a Kenyan sex worker and no action was taken against him.
The said officer is said to have killed Agnes Wanjiru nine years ago in a hotel room and dumped her body in a septic tank.
On the day of the crime the British officer is said to have left a drinking joint in Nanyuki together with the 21-year-old sex workers and he added to an hotel room. That is the night the young lady was seen a live.
According to witnesses, Agnes left the bar with British soldier before they proceeded to the soldier’s room. It is believed that it is at the room that the two engaged in an altercation following a disagreement before a fight broke out which led to Agnes death.
Since the incident happened nine years ago, the family of the deceased is still seeking justice and hopes the soldier will he held accountable for his crime.
The family believes that the case was thrown under the table by Kenya’s security agencies with the aim of maintaining diplomatic ties with the United Kingdom.
“Her case has been completely overlooked. From the first day we reported the case at the police station they never did anything until when the body was retrieved from the septic tank,” Rose Wanjiku, Agnes’s sister said as reported by K24 Digital.
According to reports, by the time Wanjiku’s body was recovered in the septic tank with stabbing marks, the said soldier and his colleagues had already moved back to the UK.
It is after going back to their homes that one of the soldiers was heard bragging how he ended the life lady he met while Kenya.
The deceased family was later informed by the detectives attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) that they had requested by the British authority to question the nine officers and also take DNA samples from them to help probe the matter. The British Ministry of Defense, however, denied receiving such request from the DCI.
A new investigation into the murder case has, however, been launched and the family now believe that the perpetrators of the crime will be brought to book.
According to reports, investigators drawn from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and sleuths attacked DCI have been investigating the matter silently.
