Uganda will extradite two Kenyans suspected of killing Dr Victoria Mutiso, following their arrest in Kampala last Saturday.

The extradition process is expected to take up to three days, after which Police Constable Collins Kiplangat Bett and Pius Muiru Mbugua will be released to the Interpol officers, who will then hand them over to the Kenyan Police.

Kenyan detectives from the serious crimes unit at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) flew to Kampala on Friday and have since been working with Ugandan police and Interpol officers to arrest the two suspects.

“A combined team of Interpol, Kenyan crime busters and Ugandan intelligent security personnel led to the arrest of the two suspects who are now detained by the Ugandan Authorities awaiting extradition to face murder charges at the Kenyan High Court,” a DCI officer told the Daily Nation on Monday.

The DCI officer said that the joint operation ended with arrest of the two suspects, and that Uganda’s Foreign Affairs ministry is processing an extradition request from its Nairobi counterpart.

“Our officers have presented a request to the relevant Ugandan Foreign Ministry for processing of the two suspects,” our source stated.

The Ugandan Foreign Affairs minister is liaising with the local Attorney General, who has in turn presented an application before a magistrate for extradition orders.

Evidence on how Dr Victoria Nthunya Mutiso, a prominent neuroscientist and a former director of African Institute of Mental and Brain Health was killed in a gangland-style shooting has been presented to the Ugandan Magistrate for analysis and processing.
