Ex British Soldier Accused of Killing Kenya Female Appears in Court
A suspect has been presented in court as deportation processes commenced in the investigation of Agnes Wanjiru, a Kenyan woman who was murdered near a UK military installation in the year 2012.
Purkiss, 38 years old, who is originally from Greater Manchester region, showed up in the magistrates' court in Westminster on Friday, and stated to the court he planned to fight the extradition request. Sources suggest that he was detained on Thursday evening.
An arrest warrant for the suspect was released by a Nairobi court in September. Legal prosecutors informed the Kenyan judiciary that the individual had been accused of a sole charge, of homicide, and that the government of Kenya would seek his extradition to face charges.
He previously worked as a army medic with the regiment of the Duke of Lancaster, the infantry regiment for the English northwest, including on tours of Afghanistan.
The victim, 21, a hair stylist who had a infant daughter, vanished after a night on the town, and her corpse was discovered after two months in the area of the lodging where she had last been seen.
Nobody had previously been detained or accused in connection to her demise. His detention came after a new police inquiry, which followed a exposé in 2021 by a weekly publication, in which the publication reached out to several serving and ex-military personnel in the unit.
This inquiry has been spearheaded by detectives in Kenya, which, under a bilateral defence agreement, holds legal authority in the legal case.
