Speaking after the examination, Dr Oduor said the injuries sustained by Dr Mutiso were fatal.
“What led to her death was severe bleeding. There were also chest injuries and head injuries because of the three gunshot wounds,” he said.
The pathologist said the examination showed that Dr Mutiso had been shot three times, with two of the bullets striking her head.
“We found that she was shot three times, twice on the head. The two bullets entered on the left side and exited on the right side,” Dr Oduor said.
The findings are expected to form part of the forensic evidence as detectives continue investigating the circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting.
Police have presented two people before court as investigations into the motive and circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting continue.
Rose Mbithe Mulwa and her son, Chris Mulwa, were presented before the Milimani Law Courts after investigators sought orders to detain them to facilitate ongoing investigations.
The two appeared before Senior Principal Magistrate Geoffrey Onsarigo on Friday but did not take a plea after the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), through the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), applied for orders to detain them for 30 days to enable investigators to complete their inquiries.
The court is expected to rule on Monday on the application seeking to detain the two for 30 days pending the completion of investigations.
Investigating officer Corporal Romana Odour told the court that detectives require more time to trace additional persons believed to have been involved in the incident, record statements from key witnesses, complete forensic examinations and analyse electronic and documentary evidence recovered during the investigation.
“We seek the two suspects to be detained by the DCI in custody for 30 days to allow the DCI homicide investigators to complete investigations,” Corporal Odour told the court.
According to investigators, Dr Mutiso, the former Director of the African Institute of Mental and Brain Health, was fatally shot on July 29, 2026, while travelling in an Uber vehicle along Ralph Road in Nairobi’s Upper Hill area.
