Jowie arrives in court for his sentencing in Monicah Kimani’s murder [Video]

Joseph Irungu alias Jowie  has arrived in court for his sentencing in Monica Kimani murder case.

He was seen chatting with the court officer as he waited for the session to start.

Jowie was found guilty of Monicah Kimani’s murder in a ruling delivered by Lady Justice Grace Nzioka on February 9, bringing the murder trial that began circa 2018 to a close. 

Former TV news anchor Jacque Maribe, who was charged alongside Irungu, was however acquitted of the murder charge, with the judge stating that the count of murder was not the proper charge that the prosecution would have preferred against her.

 “The first accused person stole the ID of Dominic Bisera two days before the commission of the offence, armed himself with a gun, carried a Kanzu, put it over his clothes, went to Lamuria gardens, disguised his identity, gained access to the apartment of the deceased, murdered the deceased, left the deceased’s house, changed his clothes and eventually went home and burnt the clothes which he wore during the commission of the offence.

It is the finding of this court that all this evidence taken cumulatively leads to a strong conclusion that the first accused person murdered the deceased,” ruled Justice Nzioka.

Jowie’s original sentencing had been slated for Friday, 8th March 2024.
