A police officer, identified as Elijah Kibelion Kimoi, along with a motorcycle rider and a driver, will remain in custody for 30 days as investigations into the murder of Dr. Victoria Mutiso intensify. The three suspects were presented before Milimani Magistrate Paul Mutai on Monday.

Police Constable Kimoi, attached to Karinde Police Post in Kikuyu, was arrested alongside Land cruiser Prado driver Daniel Mwangi Njoroge and boda boda rider Kevin Ngugi Kinuthia. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) filed an application seeking to hold the suspects longer to allow for the completion of ongoing investigations.

While the suspects have not yet been formally charged, their detention marks a significant step in the probe into Dr. Mutiso's death. Detectives are reportedly pursuing fresh leads, suggesting that the investigation is actively developing and seeking to establish the full circumstances surrounding the killing.
