Agnes Wanjiru, a Kenyan lady who was murdered in 2012 has become a focal campaign point to oust United Kingdom Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
The Labour Party which is seeking to form government in 2025 has stated that should they win the election, they will investigate the death of Agnes.
It is alleged that she was murdered by British soldiers who were last seen with her on March 31, 2012.
Labour Party faulted the Conservative Party which forms the current government for not expediting the investigations.
As part of their campaign manifesto, they have promised justice and closure to Agnes Wanjiru's family who have been following the case for over a decade.
“We last saw you on the evening of March 31, 2012, when you went out with your friends, Susan and Florence. You took little Stacy out with you,” the Labour Party wrote a letter directed to the deceased.
The next United Kingdom general election must be held no later than 28 January 2025 and should Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party fail to dominate the House of Commons, the Labour Party will form the next government.
It is alleged that Agnes was murdered by British soldiers who were stationed in Nanyuki.
Her body was later found dumped in a septic tank several months after her disappearance.
The British soldiers who are suspected to have ended her life have been accused of mocking her death through the exchange of memes depicting septic tanks.
On April 4, 2024, the National Assembly questioned Catherine Kirumba Karemu, who is Kenya’s nominee for High Commissioner to London, United Kingdom, on how she would handle the case.
Karemu told the National Assembly vetting committee that the matter was already under investigation.
“What I will do if confirmed to this office is to know where are we, what has been done and the progress as well as liaise with the Ministry of Defence from that side,” she explained.
