Agnes Wanjiru: Niece of Kenyan woman 'murdered by British soldier' comes to UK to seek justice
Esther Njoki meets UK Defence Secretary to push for extradition of British soldier accused of killing her aunt Agnes Wanjiru, whose murder remains unpunished after 13 years.
- On Tuesday, Esther Njoki, niece and family spokesperson, will meet Defence Secretary John Healey in London, United Kingdom, to discuss justice for her aunt Agnes Wanjiru's murder.
- When Agnes disappeared, her family searched for 61 days before finding her body in a hotel septic tank; Agnes's daughter Stacey was five months old and has been raised by Rose, now turning 14.

- Extradition could take as long as five years, and Esther says the family wants the accused soldier extradited to serve as a lesson; activists say British soldiers still pay for sex in Nanyuki, despite the MoD's inquiry.
