Former TV anchor Jackie Maribe and her ex-fiance Joseph Irungu will today know their fate over the murder of late businesswoman Monica Kimani.
High Court Judge Grace Nzioka will deliver the judgement in an open court today.
In October, the judge was supposed to deliver the judgement following the conclusion of the trial in July, but she didn't as it was said that she was sick.
Jowie is the first accused person in the murder trial of Monica.
He was charged alongside Jacque Maribe in 2018.
Monica’s body was found at her Lamuria Gardens Apartment on Kitale Lane off Denis Pritt Road in Kilimani.
The prosecution called 35 witnesses who testified against the two.
Although they have denied knowing Monica or being involved in her death, assistant DPP Gikui Gichuki said the evidence they presented in court was sufficient to have them convicted.
"My lady the death was unlawful as indicated by all the prosecution witnesses. As per witness testimony, the first accused was placed in the house of the deceased, he was positively identified during the identification parade," Gikui said.
Gikui at the tail end of the case said the two had a common intention and 'acted in concert to eliminate the deceased'.
Regarding the second accused person, Jackie Maribe, the prosecution submitted that she was at that time the partner of the first accused and was living together.
Gikui added that Maribe was the owner of the vehicle used in a criminal enterprise.
"She also allowed the gun to be kept in her house yet she had a young child. It should be noted in testimony produced in this court that she lied to the police consistently regarding how the first accused person was injured," the DPP said.
However, Maribe’s lawyer, Katwa Kigen, has argued that none of the witnesses had incriminated the former news anchor in the murder.
