The fate of Joseph Irungu alias Jowie and Jacqueline Maribe in the murder case of businesswoman Monica Kimani now lies in the hands of the court after the prosecution asked a judge to find they have a case to answer.

Senior State Prosecutor Wangui Gichuhi, after final submissions, said they have proved beyond a reasonable doubt, through evidence backed up by witness testimonies, that Jowie and Maribe killed the trader on September 19, 2018.
