The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has approved murder charges against a fifth suspect, Kimutai Maritim, in connection with the killing of Dr. Victoria Mutiso.
Maritim will face the High Court alongside four co-accused: Rose Mbithe, her daughter Angela Mulwa, her son Chris Mulwa, and Police Constable Elijah Kibelion Kimoi. Following a directive by Justice Alexander Muteti, all five suspects will appear in court for formal plea-taking on September 29, 2026.
Authorities arrested Maritim on August 22, 2026, under unusual circumstances at Pangani Police Station. Detectives intercepted him after he arrived attempting to deliver a loaf of bread and a packet of milk to suspects detained in connection with the murder.
