A disturbing pattern of swift, targeted killings targeting high-profile individuals in Kenya has resurfaced following the recent murder of Dr. Victoria Nthunya Mutiso.

• The attacks are characterized by speed, with assailants often using motorcycles to disappear into traffic.
• Victims, including politicians, businessmen, and lawyers, are typically targeted while traveling in vehicles.
• Notable past victims include Kabete MP George Muchai and businessman Jacob Juma, whose cases highlight the ongoing challenge in resolving these sophisticated assassinations.
