The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) urged the court to order the extradition of Brian Kiprop Kiplagat to the United Kingdom to face charges, including the alleged murder of fellow Kenyan Marianne Kilonzi.
Senior Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions (SADPP) Duncan Ondimu, leading the prosecution, told the court that Kiplagat is wanted by British authorities over alleged offences committed in Woolwich, in the Borough of Greenwich, between January 12 and 28, 2025.
Ondimu opposed the defence’s attempt to introduce evidence challenging aspects of the extradition request, arguing that the proceedings were not a trial to determine the merits of the allegations against Kiplagat.
