A Kenyan court has issued an arrest warrant for a British national in the 2012 killing of 21-year-old Agnes Wanjiru, whose body was found in a hotel septic tank. bbc.in/4n1Xyat
Victims accuse military of a ‘cover-up’ after it closed an investigation without checking archives or interviewing suspect. Read the full investigation here ⤵️ l8r.it/EOew
'Toxic' army unit charged with investigating sex crimes allowing abusers to 'get away with it' in own ranks, whistleblower says news.sky.com/story/toxic-ar…
NEWS: On 31st March 2025 @ 09:00 We are launching the first Armed Forces helpline for victims of: #DomesticAbuse #SexualViolence #Stalking Available for UK forces personnel and their families, including those deployed abroad. With thanks to @CovenantTrust @ArmyBenFund
As a former BSM and RSM I am baffled that the Army thought a mealy mouthed letter from this disgraceful sexual predator of a Warrant Officer was sufficient. Promoted to WO1 and retires next month on a full pension. Screen shots from The Sunday Times. 1/2
Philip Zimbardo has passed away this week, and I would just like to take the time to acknowledge the massive influence he had on my work, my thinking, and my ideas about social psychology, and the social construction of abusive and violent behaviour. Zimbardo wrote ‘The Lucifer…
The exposé reveals the blatant disregard by British soldiers, who have persistently engaged in buying sex from local women—an illegal act explicitly banned by the UK military. They have been accused of raping several women and girls as young as 13. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/s…
Dr Kat Hadjimatheou's research on #clareslaw helping to improve policing for domestic abuse victims in Essex bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
There’s been a lot of coverage today of the latest statement from the Sec State for Defence on “woke” in the Army. These dog whistle politics are nasty and cruel and risk dragging the Army back a generation. They don’t reflect the values of the service people we support.
Casting Away Trauma by @EssexPsychology and @IcarpCic uses fishing to help veterans blighted by PTSD. Today we can announce £1 million @NIHRresearch funding that will explore how angling can help others, like 999 responders. brnw.ch/21wHm6C

Another A&E overnight Christmas shift with some great NHS colleagues. All of us in the photo are either immigrants ourselves or the children of immigrants and we’re all so proud to work here in the NHS. And our masks went back on right after the photo… 😊🎄
Typical. The British army thinks African justice doesn’t apply to it. A Kenyan court recently opened (but then immediately adjourned) a case into the 2012 death of Agnes Wanjiru - a 21-year-old mother who went missing in her hometown of Nanyuki. She was found months later in…
Charles Windsor's visit to #Kenya. Parts of some society are looking forward to host him, but the family of Agnes Wanjiru are not among them-unless he can answer for her murder by #British soldiers who still walk free a decade later. My piece for @thecontinent_.

Jaysley’s family has written to the Defence Sec, asking him to accept the recommendations of 2 reviews into “unacceptable behaviours”, that responsibility for the handling of serious complaints of bullying & harassment must be removed from the Army. centreformilitaryjustice.org.uk/family-of-gnr-…
Today's announcement is a victory for Jade's family and a welcomed start towards protecting children from violence. While this is a vital step forward, we urge the government to go further to end contact with dangerous perpetrators in the family courts. womensaid.org.uk/womens-aid-sta…
Kenyan government launches inquiry into claims of abuse by British soldiers. The investigation will examine the activities of the British Army Training Unit Kenya @BATUKOfficial, whose soldiers have been accused of murder, sexual abuse, and damaging land. More. 👇
To move forward in addressing domestic violence, sexual violence and abuse, we MUST move to a place which fully accepts that these are active choices made by the perpetrators because they want to do them. They are not the loss of control, or their upbringing, or mental health.
