The High Court has rescheduled the verdict in the Monica Kimani murder case against Joshua Irungu alias Jowie and former TV news anchor Jacqueline Maribe to December 15, 2023.
The judgment was supposed to be given today by the High Court Judge Grace Nzioka, following the conclusion of the trial in July, but it has been reported that she could not do so owing to illness.
The two ex-lovers are accused of killing businesswoman Monica Kimani, who was discovered dead in her Nairobi home in September 2018 with her throat slashed.
When the trial ended in July, the defense submitted its concluding arguments, in which Irungu and Maribe requested the court's acquittal through the counsel they had hired.
They claimed that the prosecution had failed to establish beyond a reasonable doubt their guilt in the death of Monica, who was discovered brutally slain at her Lamuria Gardens home.
