  "account": "Nairobi lawyer Angela Mulwa was re-arrested by homicide detectives on Thursday evening, less than 24 hours after being released on a Sh1 million bond in connection with the murder of her step-mother, Dr Victoria Mutiso. Dr Mutiso, who was the step-mother of Mulwa, was shot dead on July 29 during her morning commute in Nairobi's Upper Hill area. The murder has been linked to a longstanding land dispute in the Mlolongo area. Mulwa was arrested alongside Nelson Masiga, a former Member of Nairobi County Assembly, who was acting as a broker in the planned sale of a Range Rover that was part of a larger theft from a disputed 21-acre parcel of land in Mlolongo. The car was recovered in August and Mulwa and Masiga were subsequently held for 14 days. Their father, Prof David Ndetei, had married Dr Mutiso as the second wife after the couple divorced, which complicated the family's dispute over property rights. Mulwa's re-arrest came after she was released on bond alongside Masiga in the case involving the theft of the Range Rover. The prosecution had opposed Mulwa's application to have her bond terms reviewed, citing the value of the disputed property and the presence of family members in police custody. Magistrate Lilian Kwamboka had declined the prosecution's request to hold Mulwa and Masiga for a further seven days. At least six suspects are currently in police custody in connection with the murder, including a police officer, a bodaboda rider, and a man who is believed to have been the main link in organizing the crime. Police have recovered a pistol, a motorcycle, and a car involved in the attack.",
