The man, identified as James Robert Purkiss, is accused of killing Agnes Wanjiru in 2012 and dumping her body in a septic tank.
According to reports, Agnes, a mother of one, was last seen alive at a local bar where she had been spotted with the suspect. Shortly after that night, she disappeared under unclear circumstances.
Her family launched a frantic search, but days later, her body was discovered inside a septic tank at Lion Court Lodge in Nanyuki.
The discovery shocked residents and angered her family, who immediately demanded justice.
Her mother, who had been at the forefront of the fight to uncover the truth, sadly passed away years later without seeing justice served for her daughter.
Investigations revealed chilling details, including messages that the suspect allegedly shared with his colleagues bragging about killing Agnes.
Despite these claims, no immediate action was taken against him at the time, leaving the family frustrated and heartbroken.
For years, Agnes’ relatives and friends have called on the government to ensure accountability.
They insisted that her case should not be forgotten and that her child deserved to grow up knowing that justice was done.
The recent move by the High Court to issue a warrant against Purkiss has reignited public debate.
Many Kenyans took to social media to express their support for Agnes’ family while urging the government of President William Ruto to act quickly in securing the extradition of the suspect.
Human rights groups have also joined the chorus, saying the case highlights a broader issue of accountability when crimes are committed by foreign nationals on Kenyan soil.
They argue that Kenya must show commitment to protecting its citizens by ensuring that Purkiss faces trial.
