Twist in Dr Victoria Mutiso Case as Lawyers Suddenly Quit

Dr Victoria Mutiso, a prominent clinical psychologist, was killed in Nairobi on July 29, after her taxi was ambushed at a road junction by armed attackers on a motorcycle and in a vehicle.

Lawyers representing three main suspects in the murder of Dr. Victoria Mutiso have withdrawn from the case following a disagreement with their clients.

Defense lawyers Danstan Omari and Cliff Ombeta told the High Court in Nairobi on Tuesday, September 29, that they no longer wished to represent the accused persons.

According to the lawyers, they had come to court prepared to argue the bail applications but encountered issues that they said had not formed part of the strategy agreed with their clients.

"Our intention was very good, it was very bona fide, for the purposes of getting our clients on board as early as possible. We wanted to do the bail application today," the lawyers stated.
