The soldier who confessed to the 2012 crime was a member of the British Army Training Kenya, similar to the soldiers pictured during training in March 2018NAIROBI - The British High Commission in Nairobi on Sunday said it was"fully cooperating" with a police investigation into the 2012 murder of a Kenyan woman last seen with a British soldier.
The crime was reported but dismissed by military officials, said soldiers quoted by the newspaper, who claimed the accused's identity was an open secret but he was never questioned and eventually returned home. "Senior military visitors from the UK come to Kenya regularly -- including in the coming weeks -- and will be discussing Ms Wanjiru's murder and UK support to the Kenyan investigation."
Thousands of British infantrymen have passed through BATUK for exercises in harsh and difficult terrain, and the base has bolstered Nanyuki's economy for decades.
