Citizen TV anchor Jacque Maribe and her fiance Joseph ‘Jowie’ Irungu are in court today for their bail hearing in the case concerning the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani.
The two have pleaded not guilty to Monica’s murder but have been in custody since September 25 for Irungu and September 29 for Maribe.
The TV star who was arrested on September 29 became a person of interest in the case after her car was allegedly used on the night of Monica’s murder.
Monica’s body with a slit on the throat was found in her apartment in Kilimani on September 21 while she is said to have been killed on the night of September 19.
In an affidavit filed in court, the officer investigating the case Maxwell Otieno says Maribe knowingly assisted the main suspect Joseph Irungu in a cover-up.
But Maribe has dismissed the claim saying that her only offence is being in a love relationship with a person that the police are interested in over the murder of Monica.
