The prime suspects in the death of Monica Kimani are Jacque Maribe and Joseph Irungu alias Jowie and both appeared in court today.
The new judge on the case, James Wakiaga is not here to play. He has given his verdicts on the case stating that:
- Media should be careful with what they write
- Jacque Maribe and Jowie’s plea for bail will be heard on the 24th of October
- Jowie will be allowed to seek medical attention at Kenyatta based on what the prison clinic have to say
With that said, Jacque Maribe did need her people around just for moral support. As the case is ongoing, many of her friends have been present in court.
On Monday the only people who were seen in court were Kambua and Muthoni Wa Mukiri. Today, many of her friends and colleagues from Citizen have come together to stand with Jacque.
Here is a list of her friends who have been spotted in the courtroom including some people you would not have expected to see:
- Dennis Itumbi
Last time he was seen outside the courtroom but today he made his way in and we saw him interact with Jacque Maribe who was smiling and hugging her friends.
2. Moses Kuria
Now, this was unexpected. Clearly, we do not know many of Jacque Maribe’s friends.
3. Monica Kiragu
A close friend of Maribe and Citizen TV producer was also there last time though outside. Today we have seen her at the front row in support of Jacque Maribe.
4. Terryanne Chebet
Another close friend to Maribe who was present in court.
5. Faiza Maganga
A colleague of Jacque’s whom we have not seen or heard from her so far and this was just a heartwarming gesture.
6. Francis Gachuri
According to our sources, he has been appearing in court and in jail to support Jacque Maribe. Francis is her boss.
7. Oliver Mathenge
He was present to support Maribe..
Even in today’s case, the question still remains, where are Jowie’s people?
