Lawyers representing politician Rose Mbithe Mulwa and her two children have withdrawn from representing the accused in the murder case of psychiatrist Dr. Victoria Nthunya Mutiso. The lawyers, led by Cliff Ombeta, cited disagreements with their clients over legal advice as the reason for withdrawing from the case. The accused, which includes Mulwa, her son Chris Mulwa, daughter Angela Mulwa, and Police Constable Elijah Kimoi, pleaded not guilty to the murder charge.
The court also heard allegations of torture and mistreatment while the accused were in custody. Angela Mulwa accused Police Constable Kimoi of being coerced into implicating her brother, Chris Mulwa, as the gunman in the killing. The prosecution has requested 14 days to respond to the defense affidavits, but Justice Alexander Muteti ordered the State to file its responses within seven days.
A hearing for the accused persons' bail and bond applications has been set for October 6, 2026. The investigation into Dr. Mutiso's murder has linked it to a long-running property dispute involving her family and Rose Mbithe, as well as the September 2025 killing of prominent lawyer Kyalo Mbobu.
