Kenya: DCI Seeks 14-Day Detention of Lawyer Angela Mulwa Over Dr Mutiso Murder
[Capital FM] Nairobi -- The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has asked the court to allow it to detain lawyer Angela Mulwa for 14 days as detectives pursue investigations into the murder of Dr Victoria Nthunya Mutiso.
Nairobi — The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is seeking a 14-day detention of lawyer Angela Mulwa as they investigate the murder of Dr Victoria Nthunya Mutiso, who was shot dead on July 29, 2026. The DCI claims the murder may be connected to a land dispute over L.R. No. 1504/13. Mulwa was arrested on August 20, 2026, and is currently held at Industrial Area Police Station.
Detective say she may have been involved in planning the attempted attack on Dr Mutiso and had a role in the murder. The DCI also alleges Mulwa maintained contact with another suspect, senior police officer Kenneth Sang. The court papers state Dr Mutiso reported an attempted attack where she believed she was being followed by two armed men on a motorcycle.
Detectives are requesting 14 days to complete their investigation, including forensic analysis, electronic evidence examination, and tracing other suspects. They fear releasing Mulwa could jeopardize the case, allowing her to interfere with witnesses or destroy evidence.
