MoD to investigate conduct of British troops in Kenya amid rape and murder claims

Defence secretary to meet family of woman allegedly killed by soldier, as ITV airs documentary alleging fresh abuses

The Ministry of Defence is to launch an inquiry into the behaviour of British troops posted to a military base in Kenya, after multiple allegations of serious abuses committed by soldiers, including rape and murder.

The inquiry is to examine the conduct of military personnel posted to the British Army Training Unit Kenya (BATUK). It is where the soldier alleged to have murdered a Kenyan woman, Agnes Wanjiru, was posted to at the time of her death in 2012.
