The key suspect in the on-going trial of the murder of bussiness woman Monica Kimani , Joseph Irungu alias Jowie has taken new twist in court in favour of the accused Jowie and former Citizen TV presenter Jacque Maribe.
It was good news for the accused persons after the court heard on Tuesday that the DNA found on white strands used to tie the business woman’s hands and beer can could not be linked to him.
Jowie and Maribe
Government analyst Joseph Kagunda reported that the DNA was of an unidentified male profile and not that of Jowie as had been stated by the prosecution.
Kagunda stated that he had received 73 exhibits from investigating police that included; a knife, a wine glass, an empty beer, beer bottles, clothes, open shoes, a bloodstained towel and adhesive tape and DNA samples from several people.

Further, he stated that items collected in former news anchor Jacque Maribe’s car did not match that of the slain businesswoman.
Jowie and Maribe are charged with the murder of Ms Kimani at her Lamuria Gardens Apartment in Kilimani off Dennis Pritt Road on September 19, 2018.
