On a Wednesday morning in Nairobi, Dr Victoria Mutiso — a clinical psychologist who had spent her career bringing mental health care to Kenya's most underserved communities — was shot dead in what police believe was a carefully planned assassination. She was 52, a mother of two, and days away from her wedding when gunmen intercepted her taxi near her workplace in Upper Hill. Her death has shaken Kenya's medical and research community, and it raises the oldest and most troubling of questions: what forces, personal or otherwise, move against those who dedicate their lives to healing others.
