A Nairobi court has granted the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) four extra days to detain two suspects in connection with the murder of doctor Victoria Mutiso. Investigators were seeking seven more days to finish their work, but the court limited the extension to four days. Daniel Mwangi and Kevin Kinuthia were initially arrested on August 7, 2026, and brought before the court on August 10.
A homicide investigator, Corporal Romana Odour, stated during the hearing that the investigation was delayed because the suspects provided new information that needed further examination. The DCI is awaiting forensic and financial reports from the National Forensic Laboratory and the Financial Reporting Centre to analyze data from seized mobile phones and interview additional witnesses.
Some witnesses are outside Nairobi and have not yet provided statements. Several suspects remain at large while others are already in custody. The DCI opposed the suspects' release before completing the inquiry, citing risks of them fleeing and safety concerns due to public attention and outrage. The court's decision allows detectives four more days to finish their investigation before the suspects return to court.
