Ex British Serviceman Accused of Murdering Kenya Woman Appears in Courtroom
An individual has appeared in court as deportation processes commenced in the legal matter of the victim Agnes Wanjiru, a woman of Kenyan origin who was killed near a British army base in 2012.
Robert Purkiss, 38, who is hailing from Greater Manchester region, was presented at the Westminster court on the last Friday, and informed the court he intended to contest the extradition. It is understood that he was taken into custody on the evening of Thursday.
A warrant for arrest for Purkiss was issued by a Kenyan court in Nairobi in September. The prosecution informed the Kenyan judiciary that the accused had been charged with a sole charge, of homicide, and that the Kenyan authorities would request his deportation to face charges.
The defendant served formerly as a army medic with the Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment, the infantry regiment for the English northwest, including on tours of Afghanistan.
Agnes Wanjiru, twenty-one, a hairdresser who had a young daughter, went missing after a night on the town, and her body was discovered two months later in the premises of the accommodation where she had last been seen.
No one had earlier been arrested or charged in association with her passing. The arrest of Purkiss came after a fresh police investigation, which came after a report in the year 2021 by a Sunday newspaper, in which the publication contacted several serving and ex-military personnel in the regiment.
The investigation has been headed by investigators from Kenya, which, under a mutual defense pact, maintains prosecutorial power in the case.
