A former British soldier has been charged with the murder of a 21-year-old Kenyan mother who was stabbed to death more than a decade ago.
Agnes Wanjiru was last seen alive partying with British troops at a hotel in Nanyuki in March 2012, before her mutilated naked body was found with stab wounds dumped in a septic tank three months later.
The mysterious death sparked outrage in Kenya and her family have long been fighting for justice.
An inquest into her death in 2018 concluded she had been murdered by one or more British soldiers.
In a major development on Tuesday morning, a former British soldier from the Duke of Lancaster regiment, the northwest's infantry regiment, was charged with murder at the high court in Nairobi.
