Jacque Maribe literally looked like a troubled cage animal when she was presented in Milimani court on Tuesday October 9th to face murder charge.

She looked weak and delicate, she didn’t even apply any makeup on her face. And when she shed tears in the courtroom everybody thought she was regretting the day she met Joseph Irungu.

She however didn’t take plea, the court directed Maribe to spend further 5 days at the Lang’ata Women Prison, she underwent psychiatric evaluation to determine whether she was mentally fit to stand trial.

A strong Jacque

Jacque Maribe appeared presentable and full of life when he appeared in court on Monday October 15th to take plea, she even applied makeup. She pleaded not guilty.

By October 24th, Maribe would have spent 26 days as a guest of the state. And it’s not certain that she will automatically be granted bail.
