Lead image for Victoria Mutiso murder: Dramatic re-arrest and brief spells of freedom for Angela Mulwa .
After three dramatic re-arrests and two brief spells of freedom, lawyer Angella Mulwa is set to stand trial for the murder of prominent psychiatrist Dr Victoria Nthunya Mutiso, who was shot dead in Nairobi in July.
Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Renson Ingonga disclosed before Milimani Chief Magistrate Joan Mati that Ms Mulwa will be charged alongside her mother, Rose Mbithe Mulwa, alias Rose Mbithe Ndetei, and her brother, Chris Mulwa, who is also an advocate.
Rose Mulwa and her son Chris Mulwa at the Milimani Law Courts on August 3, 2026. They are persons of interest in the fatal shooting of Dr Victoria Mutiso.
Ms Mulwa was re-arrested immediately after two Senior Assistant Directors of Public Prosecutions, Jalson Makori and Gikui Gichuhi, informed the court that a murder charge had been registered at the High Court.
The development came shortly after Ms Mati dismissed Ms Mulwa's bid to stop the police from seeking her detention for 14 days to investigate the murder.
The latest arrest came barely five days after Ms Mulwa was re-arrested at the Mavoko Law Courts on August 19, following her release on a Sh1 million cash bail alongside Nelson Masiga Makaralu.
