The High Court judge, Lady Justice Grace Nzioka, has sentenced Joseph Irungu alias Jowie to death after he was found guilty of the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani.
While delivering the sentence, Justice Esther Nzioka indicated that the nature of the killing warranted the highest penalty.
She stated that Jowie was ineligible for rehabilitation as the crime was beyond restitution.
"Having considered the evidence in this matter it is the finding of this court that the prosecution has adduced adequate evidence and has met the threshold.... It is the finding of this court that the first accused person murdered the deceased," ruled Justice Grace Nzioka.
Kimani met a tragic end in 2018 when she was discovered dead at her residence in Lamuria Gardens Apartment, situated on Kitale Lane off Denis Pritt Road in Kilimani.
