"A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a British national on suspicion of the murder of the Kenyan woman Agnes Wanjiru, who was found dead in the grounds of a hotel near an army base in 2012. The high court judge Alexander Muteti issued the arrest warrant earlier on Tuesday in Kenya, with the prosecution telling the court a suspect had been charged with murder, and seeking the application for a warrant of arrest to facilitate his extradition to Kenya."
"Wanjiru, 21, was last seen in the company of British soldiers on a night out in the Lion's Court hotel in her home town of Nanyuki on 31 March 2012. She disappeared that night, with friends and family searching for her, until her body was found months later stuffed inside a septic tank at the hotel. Wanjiru, who worked as a hairdresser, and sometimes sold sex for extra money, had a daughter, Stacey, who was just five months old at the time that she disappeared."
A Kenyan high court issued an arrest warrant for a British national suspected of murdering Agnes Wanjiru, whose body was found in hotel grounds in 2012. The prosecution stated a suspect has been charged with murder and requested the warrant to enable extradition to Kenya. UK-based witnesses are expected to testify in a future trial and authorities said they will make the witnesses available. Wanjiru was last seen with British soldiers in Nanyuki and was later found in a septic tank. If extradited, it would be the first such extradition of a current or former British soldier to face trial abroad.
