Police Officers were Promised Ksh.1.5M in Doctor Mutiso Murder.

According to emerging details, three officers were each expected to receive five hundred thousand shillings once the assignment was completed, with reports indicating that a portion of the payment may already have been handed over before the attack took place. The revelation has added urgency to the ongoing inquiry as detectives continue to piece together the planning and execution of the murder.

The manhunt for two officers who disappeared after being linked to the case intensified over the weekend. Senior security personnel from the Central Region, working alongside colleagues from Kikuyu Police Station, visited several posts under their jurisdiction in search of Inspector Kenneth Kipkemboi Sang of Nderi Police Station and Bett Kiplangat Collins of Thogoto Police Station. At Thogoto, officers searched the residence where Collins had been staying and collected various items and records. They later moved to Karinde Police Station, where the main suspect, Elijah Kimoi, had previously been posted.

Authorities are also examining the movement of firearms across multiple stations, including those at Dagoretti, Nderi, Karinde and Thogoto. The weapon believed to have been used in the killing is now in the hands of investigators and is said to have been issued to Inspector Sang. Officials from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations maintain that Kimoi allegedly used that same firearm to shoot Dr. Mutiso. Sang had served briefly at Thogoto Police Station before his transfer to Nderi earlier in the year following the controversial death of a student that sparked local protests.

In a separate development, detectives recovered another Toyota Prado in Kisii County. The vehicle is one of two that investigators believe were used to intercept the taxi carrying Dr. Mutiso as she travelled to work. This recovery forms part of a broader effort to locate the two officers still at large and to identify others who may have played supporting roles in the operation. The inquiry has also revealed that the murder was carefully planned and involved several people, including at least one individual who had been monitoring the doctor’s movements.

As the search continues, security teams remain focused on gathering further evidence that will strengthen the case against those responsible. The combination of financial incentives, the recovery of key vehicles, and the tracing of the alleged murder weapon has given investigators clearer lines of inquiry. Residents and observers are watching closely as the probe advances, hoping that the full network of individuals involved will soon be brought to account and that justice for Dr. Mutiso will follow.
