UK Defence Secretary John Healey has pledged continued support for justice for the late  Agnes Wanjiru, who was murdered in Nanyuki in 2012, allegedly by British soldiers.

Healey met the family on Monday, April 7, 2025, and personally offered his condolences while reaffirming the UK government's commitment to seeking justice in the long-standing case.

“It was deeply humbling to meet the family of Agnes Wanjiru today. In the 13 years since her death, they have shown such strength in their long fight for justice. I reiterated my determination to see a resolution to the still unresolved case," he stated. 

The Defence Secretary said the UK will continue to provide full support to Kenyan investigative authorities. 

This includes past visits by Kenyan investigators to the UK to interview witnesses, as well as a visit to Kenya by the UK’s Provost Marshal (Serious Crime). 

Healey, who is in Kenya on an official visit, said he would raise the matter directly with President William Ruto during a scheduled meeting later in the day, emphasizing the importance of accelerating progress in the investigation.

“Our Government will continue to do everything we can to help the family secure the justice they deserve,” Healey a

Wanjiru was allegedly killed by a British soldier in Nanyuki, where the British Army Training Unit Kenya (BATUK) is based. Despite investigations, no one has yet been held responsible for her death. By Mate Tongola, Kenyans.co.ke
