  "account": "Police Constable Julius Cheruiyot has been apprehended in connection with the murder of prominent lawyer Kyalo Mbobu, who was fatally shot on September 9, 2025, along Magadi Road in Nairobi. According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Cheruiyot is believed to be the gunman responsible for Mbobu's death. The DCI recovered a Ceska pistol, which was issued to Cheruiyot at the time of the incident, and ballistic examination confirmed the weapon was used in the shooting. Investigations suggest a property dispute involving Dr Victoria Nthunya Mutiso's family and Rose Mbithe, who was previously married to Prof. David Musyimi Ndetei, a client Mbobu represented. Mbithe is currently in police custody for the murder of Dr Mutiso, who was shot dead on July 29, 2026, in Upper Hill, Nairobi. Inspector Kenneth Sang, who remains at large, allegedly coordinated the operation with Mbithe in the killing of Mbobu. Detectives believe Sang and Mbithe worked together in the murder. The DCI stated that Cheruiyot is in custody and awaiting arraignment, while detectives are pursuing additional leads to uncover the motive, plan, and execution of Mbobu's murder and identify all those involved in the crime.",
