Journalist Jacqueline Maribe and her ex-boyfriend Joseph Irungu alias Jowie have begun the fight for their lives after the High Court found they have a case to answer over the murder of Monica Kimani.

Justice Grace Nzioka ruled that the prosecution has proved its case to warrant putting Jowie and Maribe on their defence which puts the ex-lovers at risk of getting the maximum death penalty should they fail to adequately defend themselves.
