Form being a witness to a key suspect, Citizen TV’s Jacque Maribe murder fairy-tale continues to pick different dimensions.
Police have confirmed that Maribe whose’s fiancee Joseph Irungu is already in custody over the same case, that she too will be a guest of the state in police cells.
Below are the some the findings police have found to link Maribe to the brutal murder of Monica Kimani who was found dead on September 20th, 2018.
- Maribe has to answer tough questions on why her phone was said to have been used at the crime scene- Monica’s house
- Jacky Maribe has also been accused of giving information that does match with police findings.
- After the very night of murder, the couple gave conflicting info over the shooting of the husband, at first they claimed they were shot at by thugs, later said they were unknown gunmen
- Still, where where treatment took place does not match up. They couple gave three hospitals on different accounts where they sought treatment (Why would Jowie go all the way to Nairobi West Hospital and leave St Mary’s Hospital which is nearer? What exactly is he being treated for in Kijabe? Who is the victim here)
- Monica Kimani’s purse was located inside Maribe’s house with 6M cash bundle
- Still, police indicate that Maribe set on fire clothes (Kanzu) Jowi used at Monica’s house
- Maribe’s house-help is in police hands and her accounts may just pin them down if at all they planned murder without involving the maid.
- Live bullets were also found under her bed, police report indicate
- Maribe hired a prominent murder case lawyer- Cliff Ombetta who is also representing Migori Governor Okoth Obado. Ombetta also represented Katwa Kigen murder suspect among others
- Jowi borrowed Jacky Maribe’s neighbors gun which is said to have shot himself with. After the alleged gun attack on Jowi, the matter ws not immediately reported to police.
If found guilty by the court, Maribe could be charged with either murder, or abetting murder which simply means to command, procure, counsel, encourage, induce, or assist a murder.
Kenyans Mixed Reactions After Jacque Maribe Is Remanded In Police Cell
Against Maribe
When we talked of Jacque Maribe's career, feminists told us she is a strong woman & independent. Now that we are questioning her role in murder of Monica, we are told go slow she was just in love, ooh she didnt know what she was doing, ooh she wasnt thinking..Lol, pick a struggle

EXCLUSIVE: Joe “Jowie” Irungu worked at a Nando Dairy Farm in Gatundu after Form 4. Then stuff happened. Jacque Maribe is seriously complicit in the gruesome murder. She is using top govt officials to intimidate DCI officers. Police must be as efficient as in Obado’s case. More..

If investigations find Joseph Irungu or Jacque Maribe responsible for the murder of Monica Kimani, they should be prosecuted & charged accordingly
Killing is a crime. The profession, class or connections of the killer must not matter.
May Monica Kimani & her family get justice.

If Jackie Maribe confidently read the news while fully aware of what had happened to Monica, perhaps with her personal involvement, then the lady is a full blown cold psycho.

Just look at what the love for a Six Pack and Beard Gang is Doing to Jacque Maribe. 🙆

Jacque Maribe loved the man. She tried to protect her man because of love. Love can be stupid! She was just a girl in love. Sadly though, she now is arrested for attempting to cover up for him. She's likely to be charged with abetting murder. I pray she survives this tough times.

I need to know exactly where Jacque Maribe studied Journalism from. she is engaged to a Man she barely knows yet she is a Fully graduated journalist. Then she has no shame to Announce the death of Monica Kimani yet she knows something about it. I think she sick. Mungu amsaidie.

Why are some people sympathizing with Maribe instead of Monica whose throat was cut open? Some people even believe she is innocent and whatever is happening to her is made up to 'tarnish' her name. Whatever the case, we need justice for Monica even if it means locking up Maribe

WHEN I wrote yesterday that Jackie Maribe would have long been fired if she was in the NMG, I then typed a line that S.K Macharia is likely to get her a lawyer to represent her. Before posting, I deleted that last line.

Supporting her stand
Sharon Otieno is killed by a man: "Sharon was a hoe!"
Monica Kimani is killed by a man: "Jacque Maribe is a hoe!"
And you wonder why we call you trash.

Why is Jacque Maribe case in the Monica Kimani homicide moving so fast despite having a HSC?
Could it be because she defied Raila Odinga? 🤔
Don't tag me with feelings. 🙄

Seen the Standard headline and I can’t just get why Jacque Maribe’s photo has been splashed on the front page. She is not the suspect. Why is this story being made to be about her? Maribe’s fiancé this and that as though the guy doesn’t have a name 😬😬😬

The arrest of Jacque Maribe is a sad news to me. She doesn't deserve to spent the night in the cells. Jackie is a young girl who just wanted a good life like any other Kenyan. It's sad that Jowi is messing up the girl. Very sad. Kanze Dena should forever remain role model .

I'm a journalist. I wouldn't drag people to some things. The Kenyan media practitioners need to grow up. Now look what has happened to Jacque Maribe😥

Neutral comments
I still intrigued by how foolish and daft the Jowie kid could be.
A 'international private security' slaying on IG with guns? Na na. He also borrowed Jackie Maribe neighbour's gun to shoot himself? Aai! Anyway…

Maid to Maribe sold her out, told police she burned Irungu’s white kanzu and where the fun was hidden, at the neighbor’s; found.

Governor Obado was not ‘flanked’ by the Council of Governors or Senators when he appeared in court.
Jacque Maribe did not have ‘star’ colleagues around her taking selfies as she was recording statements with the police.
Moral of the story?
