The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has charged Police Inspector Kenneth Kipkemboi Sang with the murder of lawyer Mathew Kyalo Mbobu, bringing to six the number of suspects facing charges over the killing.
Sang was taken before the Kibera Law Courts where he denied the charges. He was brought before Court after the state led by the Directorate of Public Prosecutions had presented a mental assessment report showing that he was fit to stand trial.
The court directed that the police inspector be remanded in police custody while the court considers his application for bail and bond.
He becomes the sixth accused person to be formally charged in connection with Mbobu’s death. The other five are Rose Mbithe Mulwa, Chris Mulwa, Angela Mulwa, Police Constable Julius Kipkoech Cheruiyot, and Police Constable Kennedy Kipkemboi Borboroi.
The five earlier appeared before the Kibera High Court where they also denied the charges.
In September 2025, Mbobu was murdered in a case, which drew widespread news coverage and inquires into the details of his murder.
Evidence will be produced by the prosecution to prove the murder charges as the case continues through the criminal justice system.
All 6 defendants are innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.
