Twenty-one-year-old Agnes Kariuki was allegedly brutally murdered in 2012 by the soldier whom the newspaper described as “common knowledge” and who has been carrying on with his life in the UK as if nothing happened.
According to the disturbing report by the Sunday Times, an ex-soldier claimed that the colleague who murdered the woman in Nanyuki took him and a group of other soldiers to the septic tank where he had dumped her lifeless body and confessed the killing to them while breaking down into tears. The ex-serviceman who made this revelation said he also reported the matter to the senior officers when he got back to the British base in Nanyuki but no action was taken.
In fact, he claimed that there was a “coverup” while another soldier who spoke to the Sunday Times said he was told to “shut up” by senior officers when he told his counterparts at the Nanyuki base of what the killer soldier had done.
“[We] were in the pub and he came in crying saying, ‘help me, help me’,” the soldier said. “I said, ‘Why, what do you mean?’ [He said] ‘l’ve killed her.’ [I said] ‘What do you mean, you’ve killed her? Show me’,” he said further saying his killer counterpart took them to the septic tank and in there, they saw her body.

Agnes Kariuki’s last moments Reported to be a sex worker, Kariuki was last seen alive with the soldier who finished her off. They were at the Lions Court Hotel when they both went to a room. Her body would later be found in the hotel’s septic tank with stab wounds long after the soldiers had left Kenya for their country.
Even worse, a Kenyan police investigation also failed to bring anyone to book and nine years down the line, her family is still waiting for justice. When contacted by the UK newspaper, the accused soldier, however, denied involvement in the woman’s murder. She left behind a five-month-old baby.
