Police Inspector Sang has pleaded not guilty to the murder of Nairobi lawyer Mathew Mbobu before the Kibera High Court.

Appearing before Justice Diana Kavedza, Sang pleaded to the charges after a mental assessment report confirmed he was mentally fit to stand trial and respond to the charges against him.

The court heard that Sang killed Lawyer Kyalo Mbobu on September 9, 2025, along Magadi Road, near Brookhouse International School in Karen, Nairobi County.

The accused denied the allegations, prompting the court to enter a plea of not guilty.

State prosecutor Gikui Gichuhi opposed his release on bail, informing the court that the prosecution had already filed an application seeking to have the case consolidated with the separate murder proceedings involving Rose Mbithe, her children Chris and Angela Mulwa, as well as two other police officers.

Sang’s lawyer, Mwaura, sought seven days to file a replying affidavit in response to the prosecution’s application.

Justice Kavedza directed the defence to file its replying affidavit and written submissions within seven days.

The prosecution was also directed to supply the defence with all evidence in its possession and sign an inventory acknowledging the materials provided.

However, prosecutor Gichuhi told the court that some witness statements would require redaction to protect key witnesses, adding that the evidence would be supplied to the defence in batches.

The judge ordered Sang to be remanded at Nairobi Remand Prison as he awaits further directions on the proposed consolidation of the cases.

The matter will be mentioned on November 19, 2026.
