DPP Haji: Jacque Maribe To Be Charged With Murder, She Refused Plea bargain deal with DCI, wants to ‘Die’ with Jowie

Dpp Noordin Haji has confirmed Jubilee TV Political reporter Jacque Maribe will face murder charge together with his fiance Joseph Irungu aka Jowie.

It is reported that Maribe refused to enter into a plea bargain deal with DCI/DPP and instead opted to stick with her fiance….

“I am satisfied that there exists a prima facie case to warrant criminal prosecution,” Mr Haji stated. “I have therefore directed that they be immediately arraigned before the High Court and charged accordingly.”
By excluding Mr Brian Kassaine, the other suspect in police custody over Ms Kimani’s September 19 murder, it means he will be a State witness in the case against the couple.

Ms Kimani, 28 and a South Sudan-based businesswoman, was killed in her Lamuria Gardens apartment, off Dennis Pritt Road in Nairobi. She had been tied up, her mouth taped shut and throat cut by what police have described as a “highly trained assassin”.

Mr Irungu, a bodyguard who has worked for private security companies in the Gulf and Afghanistan, was arrested on September 24. On Monday, he was taken for psychiatric assessment to determine if he is fit to stand trial.

On Friday last week, detectives collected DNA samples from Ms Maribe as they sought to determine the nature of charges she would likely face. The samples were collected from Ms Maribe at the Gigiri police station where she is being held.

When Mr Irungu was arrested, he told the police that a gunshot wound on his chest was inflicted by gunmen who attacked him outside Ms Maribe’ house in Lang’ata, but the Citizen TV journalist later admitted to admitted to detectives that her fiancé shot himself in her house in an incident investigators believed at first was a suicide attempt.
