A Kibera High Court has issued an order directing Industrial Area Prison and Lang’ata Women Prison to produce Rose Mbithe Mulwa and her two children so they can be charged with the murder of lawyer Mathew Kyalo Mbobu.

Justice Diana Kavedza, on Thursday, October 8, 2026, ordered the two to produce Mbithe, Chris Mulwa, and Angela Mulwa to court on October 27, 2026, for plea taking.

According to the charge sheet, Mbithe, her two children and two police constables, Julius Kipkoech Cheruiyot and Kennedy Kipkemboi Borboroi, are supposed to be charged with killing lawyer Mbobu on September 9, 2025.

The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) approved murder charges against five suspects accused of killing lawyer Mathew Kyalo Mbolu.

In a statement on Thursday, October 8, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions identified the suspects as politician Rose Mbithe Mulwa, her two children, Chris Mulwa and Angela Mulwa, and police constables Julius Kipkoech Cheruiyot and Kennedy Kipkemei Borboroi.

The two police constables appeared before Justice Diana Kavedza at the High Court in Kibera on Thursday, October 8, 2026, where the court issued new directives concerning their case.
