niece

"We didn't just lose a sister and our nieces, we also lost our parents. It absolutely broke their hearts."

The niece of a Kenyan woman allegedly murdered by a former British army soldier is to visit the UK to meet the defence secretary and other MPs to push for the man's extradition.

Rebecca Richards, Christine Thomas' niece, described her aunt as a loving and lively person who enjoyed music and dancing, and who was missed by all who knew her.

"My six-year old niece asked me what it's like to be in school," Sana says.

Thirty years ago, she held a party on the eve of her niece’s first day of kindergarten.
