A bodaboda rider linked to the fatal shooting of Nairobi lawyer Mathew Kyalo Mbobu was arrested on September 24, 2025. The suspect, Constable Julius Cheruiyot, was traced to his residence in South B after police officers he took to the shooting scene were apprehended. Detectives are still searching for a third individual involved in the murder that occurred in September 2025.
Mbobu was shot dead in his car while en route to his home in Karen. The arrest came following confessions from suspects in the murder of psychologist Dr Victoria Mutiso, who revealed the constable's involvement. Ballistic tests on Cheruiyot's official pistol confirmed it was the weapon used in the shooting. Mbobu, a former chairman of the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal, was killed on September 9, 2025.
The murder has been linked to a land dispute involving Dr Mutiso's property. Police officials stated the investigation remains active, with efforts ongoing to identify all accomplices involved in the crime.
