Magistrate Joan Mati has dismissed attorney Angela Mulwa's preliminary objection to the jurisdiction of the court in the murder investigation of Doctor Victoria Nthunya Mutiso.

DCI alleges that Mulwa was present during the down payment facilitation for the failed attempt to murder the doctor and played a critical role in the brutal murder itself.
