UK committed to justice for Agnes Wanjiru, says British envoy

UK High Commissioner to Kenya Neil Wigan has reaffirmed his government's commitment to cooperating in the investigation of the 2012 murder of Agnes Wanjiru in Nanyuki.

Wigan met with Wanjiru's family, offering condolences and discussing the ongoing investigation into her death.

"The meeting provided an opportunity for the High Commissioner to listen to the family and offer his condolences," read a statement from the British High Commission on Thursday, May 23.

Wanjiru's body was found in a septic tank two months after she was reported missing.

The investigation into Wanjiru's murder is set to resume on July 10, after being adjourned in November last year.
