The recent murders of clinical psychologist Dr Victoria Mutiso and prominent Nairobi lawyer Mathew Kyalo Mbobu have raised suspicions of a possible connection rooted in a prolonged legal feud.
Mathew Kyalo Mbobu was assassinated on September 9, 2025, while Dr Victoria Mutiso was killed on July 29, 2026. Authorities investigating both cases are exploring links tied to a contentious divorce and related property disputes.
Central Figures in the Investigation
- Rose Mbithe Ndetei (now Rose Mbithe Mulwa) – Former wife of Prof David Musyimi Ndetei, whose acrimonious divorce in 2001 triggered a series of legal battles.
- Prof David Musyimi Ndetei – Ex-husband involved in the matrimonial property dispute.
Sources close to the investigation suggest that the bitter divorce and ensuing defamation and property cases involving Rose Mbithe Ndetei have set off a chain of events that may have culminated in the two killings.
Authorities continue piecing together the narrative, seeking to establish the nexus between the murders and the longstanding conflicts surrounding the involved parties.
