A Nairobi court recently granted the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) an extra four days to detain two suspects in the murder of Dr Victoria Mutiso. The suspects, Daniel Mwangi and Kevin Kinuthia, have been held since August 7, 2026. The DCI cited fresh information obtained from the suspects and other detainees, as well as the need for further investigation into the new details provided by the two men.
The investigation into Dr Mutiso's murder has expanded, with at least eight suspects arrested and more charged. The DCI is awaiting forensic and financial reports from the National Forensic Laboratory and the Financial Reporting Centre to help further their probe. Kinuthia is believed to have used a specific motorcycle to transport the gunman to and from the crime scene.
Investigators are also waiting for statements from additional witnesses, some of whom are located outside Nairobi. The case has attracted significant public attention, raising concerns that the suspects may flee or face retaliation from the deceased's family. The DCI maintains that the continued detention is crucial to completing the investigation and ensuring justice for Dr Mutiso.
