Detectives in Nairobi have recovered a motorcycle linked to the murder of lawyer Mathew Kyalo Mbobu, according to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). The vehicle, believed to have been used to transport the suspected gunman, was recovered as part of ongoing investigations into the case. The DCI announced the development on September 25, 2026, marking a key step in the probe.
A Nairobi court has since granted the DCI 15 days to detain four suspects arrested in connection with the killing. The court’s decision allows authorities time to gather more evidence before deciding on further legal action. The suspects remain in custody while the investigation continues.
The murder of Mbobu, a local lawyer, has raised concerns about security in the area. Authorities have not yet released details about the motive or the number of casualties. The case remains under active review by the DCI.
No further details have been provided on the condition of the suspects or the next steps in the legal process. The investigation is ongoing, with no official statement on the case’s progress beyond the recent developments.
