Victoria Mutiso murder: Dramatic re-arrest and brief spells of freedom for Angela Mulwa
DPP says Mulwa will be charged alongside mother, brother.
On August 24, lawyer Angela Mulwa was arrested again at Milimani Law Courts in connection with the murder of Dr Victoria Thunya Mutiso. She will face a charge along with her mother, Rose Mbithe Mulwa, and Chris Mulwa. The court documents allege that the three were involved in Dr Mutiso's killing on July 29, 2026, in Kilimani, Nairobi County.
The prosecution claims they conspired with others who have not yet been brought to court. Mulwa was previously detained while the investigation into her alleged involvement continued. The state requested more time to keep her in custody, arguing that the case was still under investigation and would be forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions for a decision on whether to charge her.
However, the court denied the request to extend her detention. Mulwa's lawyer opposed the request, raising an objection based on jurisdiction. She was re-arrested at the Milimani Law Courts while the state was preparing to proceed with the murder charges. She is due to be arraigned on Tuesday, along with the other suspects, when the prosecution will formally present the charges in court.
