The wrenching suspense of waiting for the court’s verdict will soon be over for the once-prominent figure in Kenyan media Jacque Maribe who was charged with the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani.
She is facing the charge alongside her fiancé Joseph ‘Jowie’ Irungu.
The state alleges the pair on the night of September 19, 2018, at an undetermined time at Lamuria Gardens Apartment on Kitale Lane in Kilimani in Nairobi, jointly with others not before the court, murdered Kimani.
Her body was found in a bathtub with her throat slit. Her hands and feet were tied behind her back and her mouth was taped shut. Police said the murder would have required more than one man to execute.
