Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai has directed the DCI to re-open the case on the alleged murder of Agnes Wanjiru, who was killed by a British soldier 9 years ago.
Taking to Twitter, Mutyambai directed investigators to compile all the available evidence and witness accounts and ensure the case is concluded before a court of law.
“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,” said Mutyambai.
He also called on authorities in the United Kingdom to collaborate with their Kenyan counterparts to conclude the case and administer justice.
The family of the late Agnes Wanjiru is agitating for justice and compensation after details emerged of how a British soldier in Nanyuki brutally murdered the 21-year-old mother of one.
Sunday Times, a UK publication detailed how the accused soldier confessed to fellow soldiers, with reports of cover-up of the murder by British Army bosses now emerging.
Wanjiru was brutally murdered back in 2012 when the daughter was just nine months old at the time.
An inquest into the murder of Agnes that concluded in November 2018 read in part: “I find it fit to close the inquest and, in my opinion, find that there was an offence as committed.”
The decision was delivered and signed by Njeri Thuku, a Principal Magistrate at the Nanyuki law courts.
The trail into the investigations of the murder has grown cold since then with the suspect yet to be brought to book.
