Kenyan High Court Postpones Jackie Maribe & Jowie’s Case Verdict

The Kenyan High Court has postponed the judgment of the Monica Kimani murder case, in which former TV news anchor Jackie Maribe and her ex-fiancé Jowie Irungu are on trial. The verdict was expected to be delivered on Friday, October 6, 2023, but the court has rescheduled it to December 15, 2023.

Justice Grace Nzioka, who was to deliver the judgment on whether Maribe and Jowie were guilty of the murder or not, said she had been taken ill.

The two ex-lovers are charged with the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani, who was found dead at her Nairobi home in September 2018.

The case has been in the public eye since it was first reported, and many Kenyans have been following it closely.

The family of Monica Kimani has been devastated by her death and has been seeking justice for her ever since.

During the trial, a witness testified that he received a “strange” message from Monica Kimani on the night of her murder. The witness also said that he had been friends with one of the suspects, Jowie Irungu, and that he had received a call from him on the night of the murder.

The postponement of the verdict is a setback for the family of Monica Kimani, who have been waiting for justice for over four years. However, it is important to remember that the court system is complex and that there are many factors that can contribute to delays in proceedings.
