Nairobi Court has detained two individuals in connection with the murder of Dr. Victoria Mutiso, a prominent figure in Kenya’s medical community. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has requested a 21-day investigation into the case, which has seen the detention of advocate Angela Mulwa and another person of interest. The probe follows a complaint filed by Dr. Mutiso on May 4, 2026, after her matrimonial home was demolished, according to the DCI (eastleighvoice.co.ke).

The court remanded Angela Mulwa and Nelson Masiga for further questioning as the investigation unfolds. The DCI is seeking additional time to gather evidence, with the detention period set to last 21 days. The case has gained attention due to the high-profile nature of the victim and the involvement of legal professionals in the inquiry (tuko.co.ke).

The Nairobi Court granted the DCI’s request for extended investigation time, highlighting the complexity of the case. The two detained individuals are being held as persons of interest, with the investigation focusing on the circumstances surrounding Dr. Mutiso’s fatal shooting in Upper Hill. The DCI has not yet released further details on the case (peopledaily.digital).
