Moordonderzoek Julie Ward wordt heropend
Kenya pledged to reopen investigations into the murder of British photographer Julie Ward 17 years ago, after the slain girl's father handed over new evidence to the government.
"We have acceded to the request that investigations be reoponed and a taskforce be set up ... to review old evidence and any that might emerge as new," Justice Minister Kiraitu Murungi, flanked by the slain girl's father John Ward, told reporters in Nairobi.
"With the new evidence, there should be a will to resolve this case once and for all. If we can't resolve it this time, probably it will not be resolved ever," Ward told AFP, hinting that this could be his final attempt.
Julie, 28, was killed while photographing wildlife in the Maasai Mara game reserve in September 1988, and since then her father has led a one-man crusade to track down her killers, claiming a cover-up by the Kenyan authorities.
