British 'service person' is arrested on suspicion of rape near UK Army camp in Kenya where 'soldier murdered a local woman'
A British 'service person' who has been accused of rape near a British Army training camp in Kenya has been arrested. The alleged rape happened last month close to the British Army Training Unit Kenya (Batuk), near the town Nanyuki. The man was arrested after a group of soldiers visited a bar in the area, the BBC reports. On Sunday, a Ministry of Defence spokesman said: 'We can confirm the arrest of a service person in Kenya. 'As the matter is the subject of an ongoing investigation by the Defence Serious Crime Command, we will not comment further.' It comes after after Defence Secretary John Healey went to Kenya in April and met the family of 21-year-old Agnes Wanjiru, who was allegedly murdered by a British soldier. Ms Wanjiru was last seen alive with British troops at a hotel in Nanyuki in March 2012. Two months later, her mutilated naked body was found with stab wounds dumped in a septic tank three months later near an army base. Her family said they had been subject to 'too many empty promises' regarding investigations into her death and that they were 'grateful' for the visit. Mr Healey said the Government would continue to help Ms Wanjiru's family 'secure the justice they deserve', and stressed his 'determination to see a resolution to the still unresolved case'. According to the Sunday Times, a soldier had allegedly confessed to Ms Wanjiru's killing and another soldier reported it to senior officers at the time - but no action was taken. In a report in 2021, the newspaper said a soldier accused of the murder had been named by his comrades. The Army has launched a service inquiry (SI) into allegations of unacceptable behaviour by UK service personnel in Kenya violating sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) policy which was introduced in July 2022. It is believed the aim is to understand the nature of allegations made regarding sexual exploitation and abuse, which includes Army culture and possible contact with sex workers. The SI can make recommendations to ensure that SEA policy is being complied with by UK personnel in Kenya. A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: 'The Defence Secretary recently visited Kenya to highlight our bilateral partnership and the important role of the British military presence - and personnel - in Kenya. 'He also clearly set out the high standards of behaviour we expect of our all our personnel. 'All soldiers who visit or train at Batuk have clear direction about how to behave, on and off duty, must complete mandatory training and attend compulsory briefings on conduct. 'We will have zero tolerance for unacceptable behaviour. 'To ensure the highest possible standards, the Army has launched a comprehensive service inquiry into allegations of unacceptable behaviour by UK Service Personnel in Kenya which would violate MoD and Army policy.'

Furious locals demand action after their beautiful beach is 'taken over by gay nudist men having sex in public'
Furious locals claim a nearby beach has been taken over by gay nudist men having sex in public. Residents of the pretty village of Corton near Lowestoft, Suffolk are demanding an end to what they describe as a growing phenomenon in the area. They suggest men are travelling to the picturesque sands to engage in sexual activities. Local Labour MP Jess Asato has joined residents in a walk along the beach in protest against the trend. She said: 'Residents are fed up with their beach being made a no-go area due to criminal sexual behaviour. 'Our walk was a symbol of their efforts to ensure that no-one is feels afraid to use it - and send a signal that we will not tolerate what amounts to criminal acts.' One local, a retired newspaper executive, said: 'It's no longer safe to take children there to play on their beach. 'It started about three years ago and has got worse every year since since - I was with my two and three-year-old grandchildren last summer and there were naked men deliberately showing off and flaunting themselves. Residents of the pretty village of Corton near Lowestoft, Suffolk are demanding an end to what they describe as a growing phenomenon in the area 'It is so offensive that we can no longer take our grandchildren to play on the beach. 'Unfortunately the beach is now getting a reputation - and becoming famous - so the problem will only get worse. 'Apart from the holidaymakers here there are people who live her all the time and now in the summer they can't go down to the sea.' The Azure Seas village, which has more than 100 holiday and permanent cabins and homes which cost up to £200,000, overlooks the beach and has its own direct access to the sea. Sales manager Duncan Gooch said: 'It's got nothing to do with nudity whatsoever - it is the behaviour of some of the men who go there, a group who think it is okay to indulge in lewd and sexual behaviour on the beach, openly in front of other people. 'It is blatant and deliberate - some men are clearly exhibitionists and we take offence - as does everyone living or staying here - at their behaviour. 'Things have got worse over recent so year and are now so bad that a lot of people simply won't go onto the beach because it is full of naked exhibitionists parading up and down and having sex. 'We have complained to the police and they say they will look into it. 'But they told us there was nothing we could do about it. Callers who complain are simply give a reference number. 'We have 100 holiday and permanent homes here but this perverted sexual activity - which goes on from dawn until after dusk - is not what they want to see.' In a bid to curb the trend, a notice warning against it was erected by the beach. It has since been taken down. The sign read: 'Corton Beach is not a naturist beach. 'Lewd behaviour will not be tolerated and may be recorded by CCTV and reported to the police. 'Causing an offence to others is a criminal offence and all cases will be reported form prosecution. By order of Corton Parish Council.' The local authority said it put up the sign following a string of complaints from resident. A council spokesman said: 'Businesses overlooking the beach have also been severely impacted, reporting substantial financial losses directly attributed to these behaviours. 'The parish council is obligated to support and protect the parishioners and businesses. 'Our stance remains unchanged - we recognise that nudism is a legal activity and our sign was a warning to individuals whose lewd activities were causing distress to other beach-goers.' District councillor Paul Ashdown said: 'Most people are aware that sunbathing in the nude on the beach is not illegal but residents have witnessed lewd behaviour which is offensive and should not be conducted in a public space.' MailOnline has approached Suffolk Police for comment.

EXCLUSIVE Residents' fury after wealthy neighbour extends his 'horrific' £1million 'American-style McMansion' without planning permission sparking 'war for the ages'
Civil war has erupted on a leafy street over a 'horrific' extension on a £1million property which neighbours claim they knew nothing about until it was finished. Locals claim the new property is in breach of planning rules and looks like a ' Los Angeles McMansion'. The row has kicked off in the peaceful village of Stoke Poges in Buckinghamshire, where locals are 'gearing up' for a 'planning battle'. Councillors on Stoke Poges Parish Council and locals have accused owner Jag Bahia of breaching planning permission granted for his extension works on the property. The property's extended garage and roof, as well as altered window layouts, all deviate from the original plans approved by Buckinghamshire Council. Nearby residents agreed with the parish council's objection that the finished works are not in keeping with the traditional English character of the area - with one neighbour saying it was like living across the road from an American mansion. Tracey Harvey, who has lived on the road for 22 years, said: 'It's just shocking to look at. It would look good in Hollywood - not here. 'We are crying out for houses and yet people aren't allowed to build. But they get away with it - it's a joke.' LOST IN TRANSLATION: Before and after plans reveal huge scale of development which neighbours say happened behind their backs LOST IN TRANSLATION: Before and after plans reveal huge scale of development which neighbours say happened behind their backs Tracey's husband Frank, 88, said: 'We're a bit down about it all. It's what people do - they chance it. It's what's going on all over this world - I don't get it.' A resident nearby said the finished works left the house too large for its plot - and strict repercussions should be carried out for any planning breaches. She said: 'Everyone thinks it's oversized for the plot. I feel sorry for the neighbours. I think it's way too big for where it is. It's horrific. She said: 'If they fine them, they should make it more than £20,000. It would send a message. There should be repercussions. 'Rule are there for a reason. Why should one person get away with it? It seems it's about how much money you can throw at it.' One nearby resident, who asked not to be named, said they had made dozens of reports to the Environment Agency due to builders burning material in the property's garden during the works - but there was no indication that the issue was followed-up. They said: 'It's a shame that we have got a situation where rather than the local authority enforcing the rules that make everything work, they put us in a position where they pit neighbour versus neighbour. Who doesn't want to get on with people?' Julie Devonald, 50, who has lived on Gerrards Cross Road for 33 years, said: 'Some people are very cheeky. You give them an inch and they then take a mile. 'Just because you have done it, it doesn't mean you can get away with it.' Another resident said: 'We're all gearing up for a planning battle.' Online records indicate that the property was sold for £1,225,000 in 2020. The parish council has called in the application for a decision by Buckinghamshire Council's East and South Area Planning Committee. In its objection, the parish council argued that the proposed changes result in an inappropriate development due to substantial alterations. They add that the development would harm both the character and setting of the area, representing an overdevelopment of the site with an unsuitable design. The planning committee will meet on Tuesday, June 10, to decide on the application. Councilor Saera Carter said the parish council had to employ an outside expert to 'unpick' the planning application and works. She said: 'The parish council employed for the first time ever a consultant to unpick this mess. We kept looking at it saying, "this doesn't make sense, this doesn't make sense".'
