A long road to finding the truth on Agnes Wanjiru
It is four years since our reporter David Collins first revealed the possible involvement of British servicemen in the death of a young mother in Kenya. This weekend he reports that detectives in Nairobi have recommended one charge of murder against a British soldier after more than 20 others came forward to give evidence. Agnes Wanjiru, a hairdresser, was last seen going to a bedroom with a British soldier at the Lions Court Inn Hotel in Nanyuki, a dustbowl town three hours north of Nairobi. Her body was found in June 2012. She had been stabbed in the chest and then stuffed into a septic tank, possibly still alive. Comrades of the suspected killer said that army officers and military police failed to act on claims that a murder had taken place during a drinking binge at the hotel. In 2019 a Kenyan judge ruled that on the balance of probabilities a British soldier was responsible for Wanjiru's death. • Agnes Wanjiru killing: soldier may be extradited as 20 troops come forward Two years later we published our first investigation into the events of March 31, 2012. Our reporting prompted an individual we have called Soldier Y to make a witness statement to military police in which he identified a former colleague, Soldier X, who he says showed him Wanjiru's body on the night of the murder. This reignited the inquiry and, although the wheels of justice have ground slowly for Wanjiru's family, Britain's defence secretary, John Healey, has commendably vowed to help resolve the case. The Kenyan director of public prosecutions is reviewing the case file to decide on a murder charge. Prosecutors would then have to apply for the suspect, who is living in Britain, to be extradited for trial. If they do, the UK should surrender him without hesitation. It is a tribute to the power of investigative journalism that the horrific story, for so long shrouded in uncertainty and cover-up, is approaching this moment of clarity. If the Kenyan authorities ask for him, the army and the Ministry of Defence should hand over their man.

Where to get your fix of culture in Darwin, Australia, with its murals and indigenous art
Exploring murals in the Australian city of Darwin is an enlightening experience, especially when you have artist David Collins as a guide. Advertisement Collins is director of the Darwin Street Art Festival (DSAF), an annual event whose legacy can be seen in 130 large-scale works dotted around the capital of Australia's Northern Territory. Just do not ask him to pick a favourite. 'That is difficult,' Collins says. 'It's like asking a parent to choose their favourite child.' Since its inception in 2017, DSAF has turned dirty and dull surfaces around Darwin into magnificent works of art. David Collins, artist and director of the Darwin Street Art Festival. Photo: Kylie Knott 'This here was derelict before the murals arrived,' says Collins, pointing to a laneway 370 metres (1,200ft) long that is now adorned with 21 murals. 'It was a nothing lane that was used as a loading zone.' Advertisement It is a perfect example of the transformative power of art: when murals appeared, businesses from bars and restaurants to arts and events spaces sprouted.

Leinster and Galway's unhappy marriage: ‘Croke Park needs to resolve this blatant discrimination'
During his reign as Galway treasurer, Michael Burke was at pains to identify the obvious problems. In his outgoing speech last December, he detailed lingering financial concerns and one move he deemed a complete failure: Galway in the Leinster hurling championship. 'With regard to our participation in Leinster hurling, as this is my final report, I feel obligated to mention it again,' he said. This was a consistent theme at Galway convention. Everyone in the Lough Rea hotel room would have already known his stance from previous addresses. 'The project simply hasn't worked for Galway. We have won one All-Ireland senior title after 15 years. Our U20s and minors are now playing in Leinster and the net result for Galway is that it is costing us enormous sums of money. 'We are simply not getting anywhere near the return we deserve for the huge sums of money that we are generating for the Leinster Council. Croke Park needs to address this serious issue as it has already dragged on for far too long. 'Also, our hurling board delegate sitting here in front of me, for Connacht, should also be a delegate in Leinster. It is farcical that we have no delegate to Leinster when we are a big part every year of the Leinster hurling championship. Croke Park needs to resolve this blatant discrimination towards Galway. It simply makes no sense.' The move in late 2008 to accept Antrim and Galway into the Leinster hurling championship led to a bitter fallout, inside and outside the county. A host of Leinster counties were opposed to the idea at Special Congress. At a meeting out west, the vast majority of Galway GAA bosses argued against it. Then-captain David Collins spoke passionately for a yes vote; players were 100% in favour. In the 2008 championship, they were the only team in the country to bow out after just one defeat. There was a need for more meaningful games. Eventually, delegates backed the venture by a 66 to 54 split. What precisely were their concerns? A lack of representation on the Leinster Council, no home fixtures, the impact on underage teams, what it would mean for the entire championship format. Some of those have been resolved. Galway were granted home games in 2018. Since 2023 the county have competed in all three hurling championships – senior, U20 and minor. Throughout history, the Tribesmen have been hurling's restless wanderers, caught between provinces and searching for a place to truly belong. Straight to a Connacht final. Automatic quarter-finalists. Semi-finalists. Up through the qualifiers. The schedule, the entire system, was dysfunctional. Former Galway hurling manager Mattie Murphy had led the campaign to reject the Leinster move. The six-time All-Ireland minor winning manager can still remember those who stood with him. 'That generation, they were people who saw and lived through the time we were in Munster,' he recalls. Murphy is still embedded in the local scene with senior club Castlegar. 'They knew exactly what would happen. We were always going to be the poor relation. 'It is not that we wanted to turn around and go straight into an All-Ireland quarter-final, what we wanted them to do was come up with a better system. This was turkeys voting for Christmas.' Murphy wanted hurling and Gaelic football to look towards a straightforward meritocracy. The time had come for a complete break from the provincial format. 'The hurling All-Ireland would take the top 12 and divide them into two groups. Three come out as it is now, but it would be an open draw. It is fairer for everyone. 'We were used as a crutch for the Leinster championship. There was Kilkenny and nothing in Leinster. Maybe one odd good game. Take Connacht, it is almost a wasteland for hurling. Mayo beat Roscommon by seven points recently. If you go back to the 1990s, Roscommon would give Galway trouble in Connacht finals. Now look.' Galway do receive a cut of gate receipts from Leinster GAA but are not entitled to any representation on the Leinster Council. The recently re-established National Hurling Development Committee does not have a single member from a Connacht county either. The most convincing case in favour of joining Leinster was focused solely on the pitch. It would stand to the county and to the competition, or so they thought. Since 2019, Galway have won three Leinster titles and made another seven finals. 'Much was made of us entering the Leinster Championship for the first time in 2009,' wrote Joe Canning in his autobiography. 'And I've little doubt that over the years our presence elevated that championship to another level.' That point is debatable, but it is pivotal. For the competition and the county, Galway must provide added drama and serious opposition. Across 55 games in the LHC so far, they have won 33, drawn 7 and lost 15. Another frustrating campaign would see they log three successive seasons with a 50% or lower win rate for the first time ever. 17 years ago, an argument for welcoming them in was a bid to break Kilkenny's iron grip on Bob O'Keeffe. The Cats are currently closing in on a six-in-a-row. For Micheál Donoghue's outfit, after a 12-point defeat against Kilkenny last weekend in front of just 8,243 at UPMC Nowlan Park, a trip to Tullamore is suddenly enormous. Offaly haven't beaten Galway in the championship since 1994. It is their first home game in the LHC since 2018. They are out to prove they add value to the competition too.
