Kenyan family protest extradition hearing delay of ex-British soldier accused of murdering kin

A Kenyan family is standing outside courtrooms and speaking to cameras, demanding answers after the extradition hearing of a former British soldier accused of murdering their relative was quietly pushed back, with no official explanation given.

The family says the hearing, which had been scheduled for next month, has now been moved to May 2027. That is a significant wait, and they want to know why.

No official reason has been given for the postponement. The family is calling the delay unacceptable and is pushing for transparency from the authorities handling the case.

With nearly two more years now standing between them and any courtroom reckoning, the question is whether anyone in power will answer them before then.
