A serving police officer, Kenneth Kipkemboi Sang, has been arraigned before the Kibera Law Courts and formally charged with the murder of lawyer Kyalo Mbobu in 2025, which sent shockwaves through Kenya's legal fraternity. Sang pleaded not guilty to the murder charge.
In a significant development in the high-profile murder investigation, High Court Judge Diana Kavedza ordered the suspect detained at Nairobi Remand Prison for seven days as investigators pursue the case ahead of his next court appearance on the 19th of November 2026.
Lawyer Kyalo Mbobu was shot dead in 2025 along Magadi Road while reportedly heading home. The arrest and arraignment of a police officer places the spotlight firmly on the circumstances surrounding Mbobu's brutal killing, the evidence gathered by investigators, and the pursuit of justice for the slain advocate.
