Justice Grace Nzioka stated that there was supporting evidence regarding the attire worn by Jowie on the day Monica Kimani was killed. Justice Grace Nzioka emphasized that corroborating evidence serves to strengthen or confirm the already existing evidence.

According to witness Pamela, the evidence suggests that when Jowie departed from the residence, he was clad in a white shirt with patterns, a maroon cap, and brown shorts.

"The prosecution produced brown shorts and a maroon cap. They were shown to the witness and they said they looked like what he was wearing," Nzioka said.

Justice Nzioka mentioned that the witness further stated that Jowie left with a bag.

Additionally, another witness corroborated the details about Jowie's attire, confirming the presence of the maroon cap and brown shorts.

"All the witnesses speak to the clothes that Jowie was wearing, t-shirt, brown shorts and maroon cap," the justice said.

She mentioned that when the shorts were recovered, they were entered into the inventory, and the accused signed the inventory.

"It is a khaki brown short. This court was told Khaki is not a colour. I took cognisant that there was a lot of contestation on the short but no one disputed that Jowie was wearing a maroon cap," she said.

Nzioka said yet the maroon cap emerged in every witness's mouths.

"Does the accused person say not mine? no evidence to that," she said.

"My findings are that there is corroborative evidence as to the clothes that Jowie was wearing on the material date."

The court has also confirmed that Jowie had prior knowledge of Monica Kimani before her death.

Jowie, the primary accused in Monica's murder trial, faced charges alongside Jacque Maribe in 2018.

Initially, Jowie had asserted that he did not know Monica before her death.

Justice Grace Nzioka highlighted that the matter arose due to the first accused person's claim that he had no prior knowledge of the deceased before her death.

"It is the finding of this court, that the evidence by the first accused person that he did not know the deceased prior to her death is untenable, insincere and it is an afterthought and it is false," Justice Grace Nzioka said.
