The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to help ensure accountability for the killing of Agnes Wanjiru.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Secretary of State visited Kenya in April to meet with the family of Agnes Wanjiru, and reaffirmed his personal commitment to securing justice following her tragic death over 13 years ago.

The jurisdiction for this investigation lies with the National Police Service, Kenya, therefore all enquiries on the progress of the ongoing investigation should be directed to them. The UK’s Defence Serious Crime Command are proactively engaged with the Kenyan police in support of their investigation where appropriate. In order to protect the integrity of that investigation and in the interests of justice, it would be inappropriate to comment further.
