Jacque Maribe released on bail

TV journalist Jacque Maribe has been set free. Maribe was a suspect in the murder of Monica Kimani and has been released on bail.

Judge James Wakiaga stated that the prosecution could not convince the court that Maribe would use her influence to intimidate witnesses.

He further stated that Maribe needs to take care of her son during this period.

Joseph Irungu, her co-accused, was however denied bail on grounds that he might intimidate witnesses and his previous record with guns might also lead to hostility from witnesses.

Wakiaga further stated Jowie did not have a place to reside and despite his family assuring the court that it would look for accommodation to house Jowie, they did not clearly state how they would do this.
