“The pursuit of justice for Agnes Wanjiru, a young mother brutally killed in Nanyuki more than a decade ago, has gained fresh momentum after the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) successfully obtained a warrant of arrest against a British national suspected of the crime.
Wanjiru, a 21-year-old freelance hairdresser and mother to a four-month-old infant, disappeared on March 31, 2012, after being last seen at Lions Court Lodge in Nanyuki.
Her body was later discovered in a septic tank at the same lodge on June 5, 2012, sparking national outrage and calls for accountability.
Today, the DPP informed the High Court that evidence gathered links the suspect, a United Kingdom citizen, to the murder. The DPP then sought a warrant of arrest to pave the way for extradition proceedings.
Justice Alexander Muteti granted the request, ruling that murder is an extraditable offence and that there was probable cause to institute murder charges against the accused,” said DPP
