Jowie Irungu’s Sentencing postponed.
Jowie Irungu’s Sentencing postponed: Lady Justice Grace Nzioka has postponed the sentencing of Joseph Irungu alias Jowie who was found guilty for the murder of Nairobi businesswoman Monica Kimani.
The judge made the decision citing the late filing of submissions by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), the victim’s family and Jowie’s lawyer.
According to Justice Nzioka, the ODPP filed its submissions (pre-sentencing report) last evening while the victim’s family filed its submissions on Friday morning.
Therefore, owing to the delays, Jowie’s legal team did not have time to respond to the submissions by the prosecution and Kimani’s family.
Owing to these new developments, Jowie’s legal team requested more time to go through the two submissions and file their response.
Justice Nzioka, accepted their request and directed that they file all the submissions by Monday, March 11.
The sentencing will be made on Wednesday, March 13.
