Police officers connected to the murder of mental health specialist Dr Victoria Mutiso were allegedly offered Sh1.5 million to carry out the killing, according to recent reports. The claim comes as investigators continue to probe the circumstances surrounding the death of the doctor, who was a prominent figure in Kenya’s mental health sector.
The alleged bribe was reportedly offered to officers suspected of involvement in the crime, though no official confirmation has been released. The motive behind the offer remains unclear, but sources suggest it may have been part of a broader investigation into corruption within the police force.
Dr Mutiso, who worked at the National Hospital in Nairobi, had been a vocal advocate for mental health reform. Her death has sparked public outrage and calls for justice. Authorities have not yet made any arrests or announced further details about the case.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about police accountability and the challenges faced by mental health professionals in Kenya. (eastleighvoice.co.ke)
