Police Inspector Kenneth Kipkemboi Sang has pleaded not guilty to the murder of Nairobi lawyer Mathew Kyalo Mbobu in Sept 2025.
Sang, who Thursday appeared before Kibera High Court Judge Diana Kavedza is a key suspect in the murders of Mbobu and clinical psychologist Victoria Nthunya Mutiso.
This brings to six the number of people formally charged in connection with the killing by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
This is after the DPP presented a medical assessment confirming that the accused was mentally fit to stand trial. The court ordered that Sang be remanded in custody pending consideration of his application for bail and bond.
The other five accused persons in this case are Rose Mbithe Mulwa, Chris Mulwa, Angela Mulwa, Police Constable Julius Kipkoech Cheruiyot and Police Constable Kennedy Kipkemboi Borboroi.
They were previously charged before the Kibera High Court and pleaded not guilty. Lawyer Mbobu was killed in September 2025, in a case that has attracted significant public attention and involved investigations into the circumstances surrounding his death.
The prosecution will present evidence before the court in support of the charges as the matter progresses through the criminal justice system.
