Five to Face Murder Charges in Mathew Kyalo Mbolu Case

The DPP has approved murder charges against five suspects accused of killing lawyer, lecturer and author Mathew Kyalo Mbolu in Nairobi.

The suspects are politician Rose Mulwa, her children Chris Mulwa and Angela Mulwa, and police constables Julius Cheruiyot and Kennedy Borboroi.

Cheruiyot and Borboroi appeared before High Court Judge Diana Kavedza at the Kibera Law Courts on Wednesday but did not take a plea.

Justice Kavedza directed that the two police officers undergo mental assessments at Mbagathi Hospital before they can formally respond to the charges.

The court also directed that Mbithe and the other suspects who are in custody be produced for the proceedings.

The five suspects are scheduled to take plea on October 27 after the court receives the mental assessment report for the two police officers.

The murder charges follow investigations into the death of Mbobu, who was allegedly attacked and killed in Nairobi on September 9, 2026.
