DPP Orders Journalist Jacque Maribe and Her Fiancée Joe Irungu be Charged with the Murder of Monica Kimani

The Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Noordin Haji has ordered that Citizen TV news anchor Jacque Maribe and her fiancée Joseph Irungu, alias Jowie, be charged with the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani.

In a statement on Tuesday, the DPP said he was satisfied that there was enough evidence to charge the couple with the murder of the 29-year-old woman.

“I am satisfied that there exists a prima facie to warrant criminal prosecution…for the offence murder contrary to section 203 as read with section 204 of the Penal Code,” the statement reads.

Following the DPP's order, the two were arraigned in court on Tuesday but did not take plea, with the judge directing they be detained until Monday to allow for a mental assessment test on Maribe.

Justice Jessi Lessit said the TV journalist cannot be called upon take plea without a mental examination and ordered the test be done at Mathari Hospital in Nairobi.

Ms Kimani was brutality killed on September 20th at her apartment in Nairobi's Kilimani area with the throat slit, hands tied body stuffed in a bathtub.

Heard eti "Jacque Maribe Ordered To Undergo Mental Test At Mathari Hospital". So my question is: Even if pleading Insanity could be the case here, how Insane are Kenyan women going INSANE nowadays? Is it because of being MADLY in Love with Crazy people like Irungu? Huh?

Jowie tunajua yake. But whatever put Jacque Maribe in Hot Soup was:-
1. A YOUNG LADY WAS BRUTALLY MURDERED.

2. WITHOUT EVEN FLINCHING SHE ANNOUNCED IT ON TV KNOWING VEEERY WELL THE CIRCUMSTANCES BEHIND the killing.

3. She Covered Up for Jowie Irungu in so many ways, some things haven't probably even been revealed (But nothing ever stays in the dark forever, does it?)

4. She gave FALSE STATEMENTS initially. You can clearly tell, ako na damu ya ujambazi lakini akili ya kuficha hamna. If she would've stuck to her story to the very end then she might have gotten away with it. BUT YOU Must also appreciate the Kenyan police and CID for pushing further and not taking the Bullshit in her statements.

5. SHE HAD A CLEAR MOTIVE- SHE WANTED MONICA DEAD, DEAD AND GONE. If it's true that she's already pregnant with Jowie then she wanted him ALL TO HERSELF. Monica was her rival, no matter how you look at it. She also had something VALUABLE they wanted- MONEY.

6. JACQUE LITERALLY FU%*ED UP, when she started Dropping names of Jubilee Government Officials- WHICH PISSED OFF THE POLICE WHO WANTED TO SHOW HER THAT SHE WAS TOTALLY NOTHING. AND THIS GOES OUT TO ALL THE WOMEN WHO LITERALLY MAKE A LIVING OPENING THEIR LEGS TO WAKUBWA WA NCHI- MTAJUA HAMJUI.
It is Stated that Jacque Maribe even had the guts to tell policemen and CID that,"Wacheni kujisumbua, hii Kesi haiendi pahali popote." I mean really? Hata kama wewe ni nani, hujui Kenya sio ile ya kitambo. And that is why my friends, the police chose to make details of the case PUBLIC. It is VERY RARE to have details of cases revealed the way this one has. The Police NEEDED to ignite Public interest, put everything out there so that the Public in turn could put Immense Pressure on the proceedings. SO POWER TO THE PEOPLE. HAMJUANGI MKO NA POWER- ONLY WHEN SOMEONE SOMEWHERE NEEDS TO USE IT 😄😄😄😄😄😂😂😂😂

7. LAST BUT NOT LEAST. Whatever ties the three Main people involved is the fact that they all belonged to the Jubilee Party. I know so many people are going to be up in arms about this last point BUT i speak nothing but the TRUTH. Jacque met Jowie while both of them were crisscrossing the country drumming up support for a party that has LITERALLY thrown them under the bus. Hawawajui tena. People here feeling sorry for Jacque Maribe should know that SHE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS GETTING HERSELF INTO. SHE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF A MAN JOWIE WAS. SHE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF EVIL THINGS JOWIE HAD DONE FOR THE JUBILEE PARTY AND THAT WAS EXACTLY THE KIND OF MAN SHE WANTED BY HER SIDE. Monica (RIP) on the other hand thrived because of policies that the Jubilee Government had put in place. All the shortcuts she took to get herself EXTREMELY WEALTHY within a very short time Made her a TARGET! SADLY BY HER OWN COMPATRIOTS within JUBILEE. UKWELI USEMWE. THIS CASE DOES NOT END HERE. JOWIE NEEDS TO BE FURTHER GRILLED ON HOW MANY OTHERS HE HAS KILLED, BECAUSE THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS MONICA IS NOT THE FIRST PERSON AFFILIATED TO JUBILEE WHO HAS BEEN FOUND DEAD IN HER APARTMENT. WENGI WAMEPOTEZA MAISHA, WENGI WATAPOTEZA TUSIPOKUWA WAANGALIFU. KENYANS ASK MORE QUESTIONS, BE MORE VIGILANT. KAENI CHONJO.

As a defense attorney, in no way can you convict this woman for murder. Though I am used to jury trials unlike Kenyan adjudication process, Murder cases require the "beyond reasonable doubt" Meaning slam dunk evidence that puts this lady at the scene of the crime. Its easy to convict Maribe with accessory for murder in which she is deeply involved. The DPP here from criminal defense stand point is just opening the door for Maribe to walk out free. Again my view is deeply grounded in case Laws here in the united states and not kenya.
