Justice Alexander Muteti’s order on September 16 for the extradition of British former soldier Robert James Purkiss to be tried for murder is a victory for the rule of law and against foreigner impunity.
Muteti is a former prosecutor and leading expert on extradition law. With moral courage, he properly, laid out the legal and constitutional rationale under the Extradition (Commonwealth Countries) Act and the Constitution of Kenya to ensure justice for Agnes Wanjiru who was murdered 13 years ago.
