A former British soldier who has been charged with the murder of a 21-year-old Kenyan mother more than a decade ago has been pictured for the first time.

Robert James Purkiss, 38, a former combat medic and infantryman faces extradition to Kenya to face trial for the murder of Agnes Wanjiru.

The father-of-two originally from Greater Manchester served 10 years in the British Army from 2006, working as a medic in several tours of Afghanistan.

The mother 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, not far from a British army base.

The mysterious death sparked outrage in Kenya and her family have long been fighting for justice.
