The family of the late Agnes Wanjiru, the 21-year-old who was allegedly murdered by a British Army officer under the British Army Training Unit In Kenya (BATUK) in 2012, told a Parliamentary committee investigating the incident that it wants nothing short of justice for their beloved.

Esther Njoki, niece of the late Wanjiru, led dozens of victims as they narrated their experiences before the National Assembly Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations in Laikipia County on Tuesday.

An emotional Njoki told the Parliamentary watchdog conducting an inquiry into the conduct of the BATUK that the family is yet to come to terms with the horrific murder of their kin, 12 years after her body was found in a septic tank at a hotel situated on the outskirts of Nanyuki town.

“We are still haunted to date…we have never known peace,” she said.

The family of the late Wanjiru pleaded with the committee to bring to book the murderer of their kin, allegedly a British army officer.

“All we want is justice to be served,” she added.

Other victims of alleged atrocities committed by officers from the BATUK, including fire victims of the Loldaiga incident that reportedly destroyed more than 10,000 acres of vegetation, want compensation for lives and properties allegedly destroyed during training by the British Army.

The National Assembly committee will on Wednesday conduct a public hearing for more victims of alleged atrocities allegedly committed by officers from the BATUK in Samburu County.

“We want to get to the bottom of this,” said Committee Chair Nelson Koech.
