A Kenyan police officer has been named as the suspect in the murder of Dr Victoria Mutiso, a mental health expert, according to authorities. Police Constable Elijah Kibelion is alleged to have fired the fatal shots during the attack at Upper Hill, Nairobi, said the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). The identification comes after a thorough analysis of evidence, according to the DCI.
Legal activist Willis Otieno has expressed concern over the state of Kenya's security institutions following the revelations.

Meanwhile, former presidential aide Rigathi Gachagua has denied any involvement in the murder, challenging detectives to investigate his home in Wamunyoro. Gachagua’s response highlights the ongoing political tensions surrounding the case. The DCI has not yet confirmed the details of the investigation or the status of the suspect.
