Kenya police have apprehended two further suspects connected to the murder investigation of clinical psychologist Dr Victoria Mutiso. The arrests occurred over the weekend in Karen during a raid on a private residence belonging to the daughter of the prime suspect.

During the operation, officers recovered a stolen Range Rover previously taken from Dr Mutiso’s Mlolongo home. The vehicle, registered under her husband Prof David Ndetei, had its tracking device concealed on the property. This car is among several that disappeared amid a violent attack on Dr Mutiso’s residence earlier this year.

Ongoing Investigation and Evidence

  • Investigators have linked a Toyota Prado, believed to have been used in the shooting, to a vehicle that vanished during a contentious eviction and demolition of Dr Mutiso’s Mlolongo property in February 2026.
  • Police suspect the Prado intercepted the taxi carrying Dr Mutiso moments before assailants on a motorcycle shot her three times in Nairobi’s Upper Hill.
  • The eviction, which destroyed property worth millions, is under scrutiny with questions raised about the legitimacy of the court order used to enforce it.
  • Documents recovered from one suspect’s Karen residence include details of the taxi involved in the attack, suggesting possible planning at the location.

Background and Legal Proceedings

The Mlolongo property has been at the heart of a protracted ownership dispute between Prof Ndetei and his former wife Rose Mbithe Mulwa, who is among the suspects currently in custody alongside her son. The court is scheduled to decide on extending their detention as investigations continue.

Dr Mutiso had reported prior threats to Kilimani Police after the demolition incident, indicating escalating tensions before her death on July 29, 2026.

Authorities have identified the suspected gunman and motorcycle rider involved in the shooting and are actively pursuing their arrest. Forensic analysis of recovered ballistic evidence, CCTV footage, and call data records is ongoing to piece together the events leading to the fatal attack linked to the longstanding land dispute.
