This comes after Lady Justice Grace Nzioka said in her rulling that there was sufficient evidence that linked Jowie Irungu to the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani in her house in Kilimani.
“The person who killed the deceased did not intend to give her even one minute to survive. It is my considered opinion and finding that the perpetrator intended instant death.”
Also, according to Jowie, he did not know the deceased prior to her death. However, the court found that Jowie Irungu was well known to the deceased and vice versa prior to her death.
It is the finding of this court, that the evidence by the first accused person that he did not know the deceased before her death is untenable, insincere and it is an afterthought and it is false.
