Kenyan police on Monday announced they were reopening a case into the 2012 murder of a young mother last seen with a British soldier from a nearby military base.

Agnes Wanjiru, 21, was reportedly partying with soldiers one evening nine years ago at a hotel in the central Kenyan town of Nanyuki, where the British army has a permanent garrison.
