Milimani court to rule on jurisdiction in Angela Mulwa detention case

The Milimani Magistrates’ Court will on Monday determine whether it has jurisdiction to hear an application seeking the detention of Angela Mulwa, a suspect in the murder of Dr. Victoria Mutiso. Mulwa, an advocate by profession, was re-arrested on Thursday shortly after securing her release on a KSh 1 million cash bail from the Mavoko Law Courts. Through her defence team, Mulwa challenged the jurisdiction of the Milimani Court, arguing that a court of similar jurisdiction had already handled the matter and granted her bond. The defence maintains that the Milimani Court therefore lacks jurisdiction to entertain the application seeking to have Mulwa detained.
