Sang appeared before the Milimani High Court, where he was arraigned before Justice Alexander Muteti and pleaded not guilty to the murder charge. According to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), the charge relates to the shooting of Dr. Mutiso along Mawensi Road in Kilimani, Nairobi.
The prosecution alleges that Sang, jointly with other persons who are yet to be arraigned, unlawfully caused Dr. Mutiso's death. Dr. Mutiso was shot at approximately 9:30 a.m. on the day of the incident. Following the plea-taking, the prosecution informed the court that the DPP would oppose Sang's release on bail. The prosecution indicated that it would file an affidavit setting out the grounds for opposing bail.
