Two more suspects, including a police officer, were arrested in Kampala, Uganda, in connection with the murder of psychiatrist Dr. Victoria Nthunya Mutiso. The arrest was made as part of a coordinated operation by a specialized team from the DCI Headquarters’ Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau (CRIB), Operations Directorate and Homicide Bureau.
The team intercepted a third suspect, Samuel Karanja Gathoni, also known as "Lawyer", in the Langata Multi-Media area. Both the constable and the civilian suspect are currently held at Jinja Road Police Station, pending their transfer to Nairobi. The suspects were allegedly involved in surveillance and served as co-driver to Daniel Mwangi Njoroge, the central organizer of the operation.
Dr. Mutiso was fatally shot on July 29, 2026, in Upper Hill, Nairobi, while traveling in an Uber moments before her death. The motive for the murder is believed to be a land dispute involving Dr. Mutiso's property.
