A Milimani Court has detained three suspects linked with the murder of Doctor Victoria Nthunya Mutiso to allow the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to complete its investigations. The DCI sought to detain Police Constable Collins Bett Kiplangat, Pius Muiru Mbugua alias Headboy and Samuel Karanja Gathoni alias Wakili for 30 days to complete investigations. […]
On September 2, 2026, Milimani Court in Nairobi detained Police Constable Collins Bett Kiplangat, Pius Muiru Mbugua, and Samuel Karanja Gathoni in connection with the murder of Dr. Victoria Nthunya Mutiso. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) requested the detention to complete their investigation, citing that the three suspects fled to Kampala, Uganda after the murder on July 29, 2026.
Prosecutor Murage argued that the suspects posed a flight risk and could interfere with the ongoing investigation. Senior Principal Magistrate Theresa Nyangena granted the DCI's request, directing that Kiplangat be held at Ruaraka Police Station, Muiru at Kileleshwa Police Station, and Karanja at Kilimani Police Station until October 3, 2026. The matter will be revisited on October 3, 2026 for further instructions.
