Police Inspector Kenneth Sang, linked to the murders of psychiatrist Dr. Victoria Nthunya Mutiso and city lawyer Mathew Kyalo Mbobu, was detained for 14 days. Sang was arrested in Eldoret and presented before a magistrate in Nairobi. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) requested the extended detention to complete investigations.
The court allowed the 14-day period for interrogation, statement recording, searches, possible recoveries, and a mental health assessment. The case is set to be mentioned on November 9, 2026. Dr. Mutiso, a former mental health institute director, was shot dead on July 29, 2026, in Nairobi. Sang is also accused of killing lawyer Mbobu, who died on September 29, 2025.
Prosecutors claim Sang orchestrated both killings and expects him to face charges alongside other suspects. Two spent cartridges and two bullets from Dr. Mutiso's murder scene matched a Mini Jericho pistol found in Sang's possession. A land dispute involving Dr. Mutiso, specifically over property L.R. Number 1504/13, is suspected to be the motive.
Five individuals, including Rose Mbithe Mulwa and police constables Cheruiyot and Borboroi, have been charged with Mbobu's murder.
