Ex British Serviceman Accused of Killing Kenyan Female Shows Up in Court
A suspect has appeared in court as extradition proceedings began in the case of Agnes Wanjiru, a Kenyan national, a woman of Kenyan origin who was murdered near a British forces camp in 2012.
The accused Robert Purkiss, 38, who is originally from the Manchester area, was presented at Westminster magistrates court on the last Friday, and stated to the court he intended to contest the deportation. Reports indicate that he was detained on Thursday night.
A detention order for the defendant was released by a court in Nairobi in September. The state attorneys stated before the Kenyan court that the accused had been facing a single count, of killing, and that the Kenyan government would seek his extradition to stand trial.
He was once employed as a army medic with the regiment of the Duke of Lancaster, the army unit for the north-west of England, including on tours of Afghanistan.
Wanjiru, 21, a hair stylist who had a young daughter, vanished after a night out, and her remains was discovered after two months in the premises of the lodging where she had last been seen.
No one had before been taken into custody or indicted in relation to her passing. His detention was the result of a recent detective probe, which followed a article in the year 2021 by a Sunday newspaper, in which the publication reached out to several active and retired troops in the unit.
The investigation has been headed by Kenyan detectives, which, under a bilateral defence agreement, maintains prosecutorial power in the case.
