Kenya's prosecution has welcomed the detention of former British soldier Robert James Purkiss, 38, in the UK, who is accused of murdering Agnes Wanjiru in 2012. This development marks a significant step in a case that has created diplomatic tensions between Kenya and the United Kingdom.

• Purkiss was remanded in custody after his arrest and subsequently rejected extradition to Kenya.
• The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) praised the coordinated effort between British and Kenyan authorities.
• The body of Agnes Wanjiru, a young mother, was found in a septic tank after she reportedly partied with British soldiers in Nanyuki.
