Dr Victoria Mutiso was killed on July 29, 2026, in what was described as an assassination along Mawensi Road in the Kilimani area of Nairobi.

A police inspector has been charged with the murder of Dr Victoria Mutiso, who was shot dead in an incident along Mawensi Road in Nairobi on July 29, 2026.

Inspector Kenneth Kipkemboi Sang appeared before High Court Judge Alexander Muteti, where he denied the murder charge.

Sang faces a charge of murder contrary to Section 203 as read with Section 204 of the Penal Code, which provides for the offence and punishment of murder.

According to the charge sheet, Sang allegedly committed the offence on the morning of July 29, 2026, at around 9:30 am along Mawensi Road, within Kilimani Sub-County, Nairobi County.

The prosecution alleges that he acted jointly with other persons who have not been brought before the court.

The charge sheet states that the accused, together with the other suspects, murdered Dr Mutiso.

The matter was subsequently scheduled for mention on November 30, 2026.
