  "summary": "Rose Mbithe Mulwa, her son Chris Mulwa, and daughter Angela Mulwa are set to face murder charges in connection with the killing of Dr Victoria Mutiso, a psychiatrist and former director of the African Institute of Mental and Brain Health. The three appeared before the High Court in Nairobi on Tuesday following the approval of murder charges by the Director of Public Prosecutions. Dr Mutiso was fatally shot on July 29, 2026, while traveling in a taxi in Nairobi’s Upper Hill area, reportedly following earlier threats against her. The case involves a property dispute between Dr Mutiso’s family and Rose Mbithe, who was previously married to Dr Mutiso’s husband, Professor David Musyimi Ndetei. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations is also probing potential involvement of other suspects, including police officers.",
