Monica Kimani’s Family Breaks Silence As Maribe, Jowie Set To Know Their Fate Tomorrow: The family of late businesswoman Monica Kimani, has expressed optimism in finally getting closure as they await the High Court’s judgment on her murder case.
The High Court is set to deliver judgment on Friday, February 9, in the case where Joseph Irungu alias Jowie and former TV news anchor Jacque Maribe are charged with the murder of Monica.
Brother to Monica stated,”It has really taken long, we have been going to court for over five years, we knew the matter would come to an end last year so that we can all move on. We have tough days, especially our parents but we just cope,”
“Justice is the only thing that we want, it will bring closure to the family. The past years have not been easy on us, especially our mother she is the most affected. We try and protect her from the noise and hurtful things said about my sister but I believe all this will come to an end once we get justice,” he added.
The judgment was initially set to be issued on October 6, 2023, but was deferred after Lady Justice Grace Nzioka was reported to be ill.
A new date of December 15, 2023 was set but delivery of the verdict was postponed again to January 26, 2024. Again it was postponed after one accused person, Maribe, was reported ill on January 26.
Monica’s Brother stated,“She was our firstborn and the driver behind the family business in South Sudan where she was the managing director of our company. She was my boss, a good friend and hardworking. It was painful losing her in that cruel manner.”
“Those who knew my sister at a personal level know that she was a giver, nurtured and brought out the best in people. I learnt a lot through her she ushered us into her company and help us. She was a loving sister, she played a very big role in our milestones as a family. There are things that she bought us that we can never forget,” he added.
