British Soldiers do not have immunity in Kenyan Murder Case – Mbiyu Kamau Snr Lawyer on Moscow, RT TV.
Mbiyu Kamau rejects the UK Army’s claims that the African state’s courts lack jurisdiction to try BATUK troops.
The British Army’s argument that its soldiers cannot be prosecuted in Kenya for allegedly murdering a young woman more than a decade ago is not correct, a lawyer representing the victim’s family has said.
Mbiyu Kamau made the comments in an interview with Russian TV on Monday, arguing that local courts have jurisdiction over the case involving the late Agnes Wanjiru because the crime was committed in Kenya.
“We are saying that this case was committed in Kenya and the UK government should not claim that the British military officers who committed the offense are immune,” Kamau said.
“That immunity was waved in a court of law in Kenya which had competent jurisdiction to say when an offense is committed in Kenya, Kenyan courts are competent to try that kind of a case. They are just playing around by claiming immunity,” he added.
Agnes Wanjiru was killed in 2012, and her mutilated body was found in a hotel septic tank near the British Army Training Unit Kenya’s (BATUK) permanent garrison in Nanyuki, a town in Laikipia County. The 21-year-old woman had been missing for several weeks after spending a night partying with British soldiers.
