Justice Grace Nzioka now says that the court has established that Joseph ‘Jowie’ Irungu was in slain Monica Kimani’s house.

The judge said there was enough evidence that Jowie was the last person seen with Monica at her Lamuria Gardens house.

Justice Nzioka said this was proven by a protected witness who also identified Jowie in the identification parade.

“It is the finding of this court that the first accused person was in the deceased house on the material date and he was the last person to be seen with the deceased. The evidence of the protected witness is that Harun whom he identified on the parade as the first accused person left that house at 23.00 and no one else went to that house,” she said.

“It is the evidence of this witness that the deceased’s Sudanese boyfriend was not in Kenya. And there is evidence that the deceased was supposed to travel the following day to go to Dubai to meet the Sudanese boyfriend and business and holiday,”

The two have been on trial since 2018, with the prosecution having called 35 witnesses.
