David Walsh pleads not guilty to the murder of Kenyan carer Irene Mbugua in Birmingham, setting the stage for a trial that highlights the safety risks faced by migrant workers in the UK.

The family of Irene Wanjiru Mbugua, the Kenyan care worker brutally murdered in Birmingham, will have to wait longer for justice. David Walsh, the 34-year-old man accused of killing her, has entered a plea of "not guilty" at a UK court, setting the stage for a full trial that has gripped the Kenyan diaspora.
Walsh appeared via video link from HMP Birmingham, speaking only to confirm his name and plea. He is accused of murdering Ms. Mbugua, 46, at a property in Winson Green last June. Irene, a mother of four, had moved to the UK only two years ago to work as a professional carer.
Court documents reveal that Irene was Walsh’s assigned carer. Her death has reignited fears about the safety of migrant workers in the UK’s social care sector, who often work alone in private homes with patients suffering from complex mental health issues.
Irene’s story is the story of thousands of Kenyans seeking greener pastures. Her killing is a stark reminder of the hidden risks of the diaspora dream. As the trial date approaches, her family in Kenya watches and waits, hoping the British justice system will not fail them.
