Court grants DCI 14 days to detain police inspector over two murders

A Milimani court has granted the DCI 14 days to detain police inspector Kenneth Kipkemboi Sang over the murders of Dr Victoria Mutiso and lawyer Kyalo Mbobu. Sang was arrested in Eldoret after allegedly going into hiding. Investigators say a mini Jericho pistol, issued to him, was linked through ballistic tests to cartridge cases and a bullet head recovered during the probe. The DCI wants to interrogate him, conduct searches and gather more evidence. Detectives also suspect Sang of helping plan an attack on Dr Mutiso near Junction Mall along Ngong Road on July 7, 2026, when she allegedly escaped two armed men on a motorcycle. Investigators are also probing his suspected role in Mbobu’s killing on September 9, 2025. Sang is expected to undergo a mental assessment before plea-taking.
