The family of the late Monica Kimani has welcomed the decision of the High Court that found Jowie Irungu guilty of the murder.
Monica's brother George said they were relived after a six year wait for justice.
"We feel justice has been served. We are relived. The six years of waiting have been crazy. It took an emotional toll on us," George said.
On Friday, the court ruled that Jowie had murdered Monica.
Justice Grace Nzioka said Jowie stole the ID two days prior, armed himself with a gun, carried a kanzu and put it over his clothes, gained access to the apartment of the deceased and murdered Monica Kimani.
"Left the house, changed his clothes and eventually went home and burnt the clothes which he wore during the commission of the offence," she said.
"All this evidence taken leaves a strong conclusion that Irungu murdered Monica Kimani."
Nzioka said the prosecution has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Irungu murdered Kimani.
"The death occurred, cause of the death, the first accused committed the offence. It was not a case of homicide but unlawful. I find Jowie guilty as charged herein of the offence of murder," she said.
Making the ruling on Friday, Justice Grace Nzioka said the prosecution has adduced sufficient evidence and has met the threshold.
