The British Army is initiating an inquiry into the behavior of troops stationed at the British Army Training Unit Kenya (BATUK) following serious allegations of rape and murder, including the killing of Agnes Wanjiru in 2012.
An ITV documentary revealed ongoing abuse claims, with soldiers allegedly involved in paying for sex, and sexually exploiting local women and underage girls.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has emphasized its commitment to thorough investigations and justice for Wanjiru and other victims.
Despite previous government bans on paying for sex overseas, abuses persist.
The Defence Secretary pledges full cooperation with Kenyan authorities to address these grievances.
