How Joseph Irungu aka Jowie knew Monica Kimani

Monica Kimani's brother George Kimani stated that he schooled with Joseph Irungu aka Jowie in 2012 but they later lost track of each other.

It emerged that they reunited after his sister and the suspect became friends and their friendship blossomed.

According to George, Jowie once tried to woo Monica but she declined due to their personal differences.

The deceased and Jowie often went out but his brother maintained that there was no intimate relationship.


Jowie was arrested this week in connection with the killing of 28-year-old Monica in Kilimani.

According to police reports, the car Irungu was driving was spotted at the residence of the deceased on the day of the killing.

Several contradicting statements have since emerged over what exactly transpired before Kimani’s killing and what Jowie does for a living.


A strong well-built man with a relatively good social media presence is now the prime suspect in a murder case.

Just what does he do for a living?

Locally, Jowie provides security for high profile individuals and some of his photos on social media portray as macho.

He has also been a security guard for a private firm in Dubai and Afghanistan. 

Here are some of his photos:
