Police Inspector Detained for 14 Days Over Murders of Psychiatrist, Lawyer

NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 27 — A Nairobi court has ordered the detention of Police Inspector Kenneth Sang for 14 days to allow investigators to complete investigations into the murders of…

The detention order was secured by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) after the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) sought additional time to interrogate the suspect and gather evidence before deciding on the next legal steps.

Sang, who was arrested in Eldoret on Saturday, was presented before Principal Magistrate Paul Mutai, who granted the application to hold him at Kilimani Police Station.

The court directed investigators to use the detention period to record the suspect’s statement, conduct searches, pursue possible recoveries, facilitate a mental health assessment and conclude investigations before charging him.

According to the ODPP, investigations have linked Sang to the fatal shooting of Dr Mutiso, a former director of the African Institute of Mental and Brain Health, who was killed in Nairobi on July 29, 2026.
