Pressure continues to pile on British Authorities to take action against the British soldier involved in the murder of Kenyan sex worker Agnes Wanjiru in 2012.
Law Society of Kenya President, Nelson Havi, has called on the British High Commissioner to Kenya Jane Mariott to facilitate the extradition of all those involved in the case to Kenya.
Speaking during an interview with Spice Fm, Havi alleged that there was a cover-up scheme, meant to deny the family of the deceased justice.
“She should ensure that her government surrenders these people because there are many than that individual who must have been complicit in this heinous murder,” stated Havi.
Havi further accuses Mariott of beguiling Kenyans while she was aware that the British army was protecting the suspect from facing murder charges.
The 9-year old murder case was reignited after British publications revealed Sunday, October 25, that there had been a massive cover-up of the case by both Nairobi and London.
Mariott responded on her Twitter account that the UK was cooperating with investigating authorities to help provide any help where necessary.
“I share the concern about the tragic death of Agnes Wanjiru in 2012 - my thoughts are with her family and the community. I can assure Kenyans that the UK is fully cooperating with the investigation and will help in any way we can,” Tweeted the envoy.
Agnes Wanjiru’s body was discovered in a septic tank at a hotel in Nanyuki town after a search of more than two months by the family.
Reports indicate that a British soldier attached to British Army Training Unit Kenya (BITUK) in Nanyuki was responsible for Wanjiru's demise, going by revelations made by the soldiers who were in company with the suspect.
Further reports according to the Times revealed that the five soldiers who were aware of the incident were flown back to the UK, following public outcry in Kenya.
