Mother, son push back against 'revenge' theory in Mutiso murder case - The Star

Theory Briefing

  • The defence is actively disputing a revenge motive rooted in a decades-old grudge in the Mutiso murder case.
  • The DCI is seeking to extend investigations, suggesting key evidence or leads remain unresolved.
  • A mother and son testifying together against the prosecution's theory makes for an unusually united family defence front.
