EXPOSED: What Rose Mbithe Told the High Court Judge After Being Accused of Killing Lawyer Mbobu

Fresh details have emerged about politician Rose Mbithe Mulwa’s response after she was charged with the murder of renowned Nairobi lawyer Mathew Kyalo Mbobu.

Mbithe appeared before the Kibera High Court alongside her two children, Chris Mulwa and Angela Mulwa, and two police constables, Julius Kipkoech Cheruiyot and Kennedy Kipkemoi Borboroi.The five accused persons appeared before Lady Justice Diana Kavedza, where they all denied the murder allegations.

Despite the growing attention surrounding the case, Mbithe did not give a lengthy explanation to the judge about the accusations against her. She pleaded not guilty, meaning she denied committing the offence.

According to the prosecution, the five suspects allegedly joined forces with other individuals who have not yet been presented before the court to kill Mbobu.

Court documents indicate that the lawyer was murdered on September 9, 2025, at approximately 7.30pm along Magadi Road in Karen, Nairobi.

Before his death, Mbobu worked as an advocate of the High Court, university lecturer and author. His killing triggered investigations that have since led to several people facing murder charges.

The case has attracted further attention because Mbithe and her two children are also facing separate murder charges over the death of Dr Victoria Mutiso.Meanwhile, prosecutors have announced plans to charge police inspector Kenneth Sang in connection with Mbobu’s murder.

Sang was arrested in Eldoret and later presented before the Milimani Law Courts. Investigators were granted permission to detain him for 14 days to allow the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to complete its enquiries.

The court also directed prosecutors to submit an affidavit explaining why the five accused persons should not be released on bond. The application is scheduled for a hearing on November 24.

As the legal proceedings continue, the prosecution is expected to present evidence supporting its allegations, while the accused persons will have an opportunity to defend themselves.

The charges remain allegations, and all five accused persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.
