Dr Mutiso Murder Case: Rose Mbithe and Two Children to Take Plea Thur After Postponement
Prosecuting counsel Charlson Makori told Deputy Registrar AN Sesuana that the DPP had analysed the evidence and established sufficient grounds to charge the three suspects with murder.
Nairobi, Kenya – On August 25, Rose Mbithe Ndetei, also known as Rose Mulwa, and her children Chris and Angela Mulwa will appear in court for murder charges related to the death of Dr Victoria Mutiso. Their plea-taking has been postponed until Thursday. The three were initially arraigned at the High Court on Tuesday following approval of the murder charges by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) after reviewing the evidence provided by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
Prosecutors Charlson Makori informed the court that the DPP had determined there was enough evidence to charge the suspects with murder. The suspects had been held at various police stations during the investigation into Dr Mutiso's death. The prosecution informed trial magistrate Geoffrey Onsarigo that murder charges had been filed against the three before the High Court, and they were remanded at Kileleshwa Police Station until Thursday's court appearance.
Justice Kanyi Kimondo, who is currently in Mombasa for a meeting with other judges, will preside over the plea-taking. Rose Mbithe and her son Chris claimed they faced mistreatment in police custody, including being forced to give statements and having their identification documents and bank cards taken away. They denied any involvement in Dr Mutiso's shooting in Kilimani and alleged that large sums of money were being used to ensure their charges were murder-related.
