MPs in Kenya have approved a proposal to amend a defence agreement with the UK following allegations that troops training there had committed serious crimes including a murder.
The Kenyan parliament’s Defence Committee proposed the changes because of the lack of progress in trying to get justice for the murder of a 21-year-old woman in 2012.
Agnes Wanjiru’s body was found after she had been in the company of British soldiers.
Under the current agreement between the two countries a British soldier cannot be tried under Kenyan law for murder.
