New details unearthed by The Standard have shed more light on Robert James Purkiss, the British soldier suspected of murdering Kenyan woman Agnes Wanjiru in 2012.

Purkiss, now 38, hails from north-west England and was a combat medic. He served with the Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment, completing several tours of duty in Afghanistan, where his role was to provide battlefield medical aid — a highly traumatic responsibility that could have exposed him to the exigencies of war.
