Democracy for the Citizens Party leader Rigathi Gachagua stated on August 9, 2026, that two police officers involved in the investigation of Dr. Victoria Mutiso's murder were arrested and later released. The allegations were made as Gachagua questioned the progress of the investigation into the July 29, 2026, killing of the mental health researcher.
He claimed to have received insider information about the officers and relayed the details to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). Gachagua specifically mentioned Inspector Sang, who was arrested in Thogoto on a Thursday, and Collins Kiplagat, who was apprehended while traveling towards Mombasa. However, the DCI has not independently confirmed the truth of Gachagua's claims.
The DCI has noted that the investigation has made significant strides, including identifying several suspects and recovering a firearm linked to the murder. Gachagua also expressed dissatisfaction with the overall direction of the investigation and called for clearer answers regarding the killing. This political conflict has intensified the ongoing investigation, with both sides exchanging accusations.
