"A British national is accused of murdering and dumping the body of 21-year-old in a septic tank back in 2012. A Kenyan court this week ordered the arrest and extradition of a British national suspected of murdering a 21-year-old woman in a town close to a United Kingdom army training camp in Kenya in 2012. The ruling has brought renewed attention to the long-running case of the young woman, Agnes Wanjiru, whose murder in Nanyuki, central Kenya, shook her community and sparked nationwide outrage."
"Twenty-one-year-old Wanjiru worked as a hairdresser and a sex worker in Nanyuki, her hometown. On the night of March 31, Wanjiru disappeared. Witnesses said she was last seen in the company of British soldiers on a night out at the Lion's Court Lodge. The hotel is popular with British soldiers of the British Army Training Unit Kenya (BATUK), a permanent garrison in Nanyuki. Two months later, on June 5, Wanjiru's body was found in a septic tank located close to the hotel."

The UK government acknowledged the ruling and pledged cooperation with Kenyan authorities. Wanjiru worked as a hairdresser and sex worker, disappeared on March 31 after being seen with British soldiers at the Lion's Court Lodge, and her body was discovered in a nearby septic tank on June 5. Her family expressed hope for justice after a long wait.
