Jacque Maribe confesses driving boyfriend to hospital after he was shot

Citizen TV news anchor Jacque Maribe was yesterday taken for questioning after her boyfriend Joe Irungu was arrested as a murder suspect of Monica Kimani in Kilimani.

According to reports, Maribe confessed that he drove her boyfriend to Nairobi West hospital on Friday, with a gunshot wound. Irungu later reported the matter to Langata Police station.

Irungu claims that he was shot by unknown people on Friday morning, as he dropped his girlfriend at her Royal Park Estate residence where three men on a motorcycle were waiting at the gate. Neighbors say they didn’t hear any gunshots.

Shot

Irungu told police when he tried to establish what their mission was there, one of them shot him on the left side of his chest. The bullet exited to the back as the attackers allegedly escaped on a motorbike. They did not steal anything.

Irungu was taken in for questioning after his mobile phone was traced to Luciane Apartments where Monica lived. Maribe and Irungu have been together for almost an year now.
