Kila mtu a pambane na hali yake! Maribe asks prosecutor to stop linking her to fiance’s alleged crime 

Citizen TV journalist Jacque Maribe who is in court facing murder charges after the death of Monica Kimani wants the court to stop tying her to crimes that her fiance Jowi Irungu is being accused of.

In an affidavit, Maribe said that she’s facing the charges because she was only romantically involved with Irungu and that she’s innocent.

“The only reasons I am standing trial are that I was in love with a person the prosecution have interest in. I allowed him to come live in my house and I allowed him to use my vehicle. There is no witness or forensic material to associate me with the murder,” Maribe said.

Unfair

She went on to tell the court that she gave Irungu her car but she never helped him with any other thing that might link her to the murder.

She said that it was unfair for the court to use communication between him and Irungu as the reason why she should face the charges.

“Irungu was my fiancé as at then and in the circumstances I definitely communicated with him. It is most unfair to use the communication between me and him in the given circumstances of our then existing relationship as a reason to deny me bail,” she argued.

Adding:

“Any of his actions are not necessarily sanctioned or attributed to me. I was not there if there was any burning. I personally was not aware and did not endorse or authorise any burning of anything.”
