A decades-long family feud over land and inheritance has taken a deadly turn, resurfacing amid the investigation into the murders of lawyer Kyalo Mbobu and Dr. Victoria Mutiso. The conflict, rooted in a bitter divorce between Rose Mbithe Mulwa and Prof. David Ndetei, is now central to the probe into the two killings.

The dispute, involving property valued at an estimated Sh1.5 billion (approximately $1.15 million), has reportedly fueled a cycle of revenge within the family. Investigators are examining the deep-seated animosity and its potential connection to the recent deaths.
