Revealed: Here Is The Name Of The Police Officer Whose Gun Was Used To Kill Dr. Mutiso
NAIROBI, Kenya — In a major breakthrough surrounding the high-profile assassination of renowned mental health researcher Dr. Victoria Nthunya Mutiso, detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have identified the firearm used in the murder as an official weapon assigned to a Police Inspector stationed at Nderi Police Post.
According to forensic updates released on August 7, 2026, ballistic examinations conducted on spent cartridges recovered from the crime scene matched the firearm linked to the Nderi-based police officer.
DCI Amin: The evidence led our investigators to Kenya Police Service officers who, apparently and unfortunately, played very critical roles in the conspiracy. Inspector Kenneth Kipkemboi Sang, the officer in charge of Nderi Police Post under Kikuyu Police Station, has been positively identified as the link person between the financiers and the operational team, as well as the source of the murder weapon, and this officer is currently on the run
However, the Inspector in question has vanished and is currently on the run, triggering an urgent nationwide manhunt led by homicide detectives.
