  "summary": "A judge has ordered the mother, son, and daughter of Dr Victoria Mutiso, a former psychiatrist and director of the African Institute of Mental and Brain Health, to appear in court on Thursday in connection with the murder of the psychiatrist. The suspects, Rose Mbithe, her daughter Angela, and her son Chris Mulwa, are accused of murdering Dr Mutiso on July 29, 2026, along Mawensi Road in Kilimani, Nairobi County. The prosecution alleges that the three acted jointly with other unknown individuals. Rose Mbithe and her son Chris Muluwa raised concerns about the fairness of their treatment and the handling of the investigation, arguing that the State's conduct was malicious and unfair. The judge directed that all three suspects be detained until Thursday, when they will be brought back to court. The state maintains that there is no basis for keeping the miscellaneous applications open, as the 21-day period for investigators had expired and murder charges had already been filed in the High Court.",
