Prof Ndetei Opposes Bail for Wife, Two Children in Victoria Mutiso Murder Case

Nairobi, Kenya – Professor David Ndetei has voiced opposition to the release on bail of his ex-wife, Rose Mulwa, and their two children, Chris and Angela Mulwa, who are accused of murdering Dr. Victoria Mutiso. In court, Prof Ndetei alleged the trio had subjected him to violence, compelling him to abandon the matrimonial residence in Machakos.

He expressed concern over their potential interference with witnesses from Dr Mutiso’s family if released, which could impact the ongoing murder investigation. Furthermore, Ndetei stated he had not spoken with his ex-wife or children since 1996. The accused individuals are also facing another case related to the murder of lawyer Kyalo Mbobu, which is currently pending in the Kibera High Court.

The three defendants, along with two others, are scheduled to appear before Justice Diana Kavedza on October 27 for plea negotiations in the related case. The matter before Justice Muteti will be revisited on November 4 to determine the pre-bail report and decide on the bail status. The court has not yet made a decision on the bail request, and the accused individuals continue to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
