Police detectives working to solve the puzzle of Monica Kimani must sharpen their mind if they wish to solve this matter sooner than later.
And to get to the deep root of this issue, police have to start from what is known for them to solve what is not known.
To understand this, here is one of the strong reason why Monica Kimani was brutally killed and her head chopped off by the beast-killer.
So finding out what Monica Kimani was doing in South Sudan and Kenya, who she was talking to would definitely point to traces of her killers.
All this information is correctly embedded on her call logs which the police can easily access and analyze for detailed information.
Monica’s history
The 29 year old woman first made her first entrance into South Sudan in 2013 after completing her studies at Technical University of Kenya where she studied a course in International relations.
Then she worked as a newspaper vendor, exploiting his dad’s initiative to serve Kenyans in South Sudan with information from their homeland. It is here that she secured a job at Kenya’s embassy in the same country.
Being a country that was hard hit with war and economic tribulations, Monica Kimani was entitled to a good salary due to the high risk, but not one that would puzzle eyes.
Her dad who served as a pastor was later promoted to a bishop after he founded Rebuilding Apostolic Faith Mission with branches all over East Africa.
Local media reports indicate that the deceased ventured into business and resigned from the embassy. Her ‘business’ which remains fuzzy boomed and the lady was flourishing in wealth and success within a span of less than five years.
Monica had already won her jackpot in life, at 28 years old, she owned several deluxe cars, including a Range Rover, BMW X5, Toyota Harrier and Subaru. Her expensive garage only would fork out roughly 50 million intact cash!
Besides she lived like a queen. here in Kenya only, her house was more than Ksh.250K per month and more than 3 million per year.
She had her own built house in Ruaka, Nairobi area but she preferred the rented house where she met her killer, Lamuria Gardens, Kilimani Estate.
On the day she died, she was supposed to fly to Dubai for a private vacation, but as hell will have it, she never made it alive.
With this basic information, we can analyze crucial details that led to her painful death.
We start by revealing the puzzle of her ‘business’ empire. Monica Kimani was already a huge millionaire within a span of five years, which loosely means she would be a billionaire by the time she was turning 35 years old.
So where was all her money coming from?Her death is not an issue of love gone sore, but ‘business’ backfired.
It turns out that Monica Kimani quickly used her diplomatic skills and made close ties with top South Sudan leaders, one of them was South Sudan Deputy Speaker Daniel Awet Akot
The Speaker had also served as a military general. With him they brokered deals and made huge money from government tenders and projects. It is here that Monica played a crucial role in concealing the large sums of money stolen.
South Sudan Deputy Speaker Daniel Awet Akot who has been dating Monica Kimani- He is aged 70 years old
She would basically do what we refer to money laundering – she would carry cash money from South Sudan, move it across the border and stash it into foreign banks. She would later be paid in commissions.
She did this with an ease of a phone calls from Speaker Akot to border points where Monica would pass without checks.
Monica would later become a money laundering agent for many South Sudan politicians. Her relationship with speaker also matured to a romantic, where her expenses would be well taken care off including her oversees trips
She was the pivot of illegal money movement from the public coffer of South Sudan to personal accounts created abroad. This statement answers atleast the source of her sky-rocketing wealth and posh life.
With such huge cash around her, no doubt she was a target of hitmen looking to rob what has already been stolen from the public. It just mattered who got their before the other. Monica also felt insecure with the money and she needed someone who will help her feel safe for her business to remain flowing
At this point, her story literary turns into a Hollywood movie script.
Joseph Irungu aka Joe Jowi was a security agent who had been deported from Dubai and came back to Kenya. Being a hitman and a trained killer, Jowi was time bomb waiting for the green light to go off.
Word has it that he was struggling to keep up with life in Nairobi. With no money life was not going to be awesome for him. He worked on casual on call bouncer, security escort. During 2017 elections, he served as a private guard to Senator Joyce Lay who later lost the seat.
The man had no house, lived a desperate life and probably wishing to pounce on huge money stacked somewhere. At one point, Jowi send a chilling message to friends soliciting for funds to take care of sick relative, he later apologized when it became clear it was a hoax.
Jowi who was engaged to TV girl Jacque Maribe, would later meet Monica and mature into lovers despite his open engagement to TV girl in 2018.
As we all know, people with such large sum of cash are often the most insecure, so Monica had won a jackpot, a boyfriend and her security to the cash she was laundering. Monica was now dating two men with different agenda brought by circumstance.
Jowi’s good conduct was already on a fence. from being expelled from his job twice to conning his friends on grounds of treating a relative.
Not to mention that his girl, Maribe footed all his bills, as well as using her properties such as the car he used to pick Monica from the airport.
Why was Monica killed still? The answer now does not look too fuzzy.
It is clear, Jowi had his last plan to gain back wealth through the back door. Being a lover to Monica as well as her private security agent, he knew so much that he did not deserve to know. He wanted to eliminate Monica and remain with her money.
Look at how police say the woman was killed- Jowi killed her like a beast, tied her hands and took her to the bathtub before slitting her throat. Cut her head before hiding it.
All these, was the cruel method the trained killer was using to extract information where Monica had hidden money, bank security pins. Why would her hands be tied, and throat cut- she was being grilled to disclose the location of money and how to get the money.
Why would he chop of the head- someone who was depressed before murder suffers trauma which leads to such revenge on a dead body, which involves cutting off some of the body parts.
His meticulous plan worked upto this point, but he forgot how to escape from the scene or simply said, how to run away with murder.
That’s how he was arrested, and his biggest witness is Maribe who just needs to tell the police where Jowi was that very night, and how he was shot on his shoulder. It would have been a hoax to fake the murder and claim he was shot at trying to save Monica- Foolish way to get away with murder!
If Maribe and Jowi’s accounts don’t corroborate with police investigations, Jacque will also be treated as a suspect since Jowi used her car to pick Monica on the very day she landed and got killed.
But Maribe is rather an innocent victim in this case. If not, watch her video breaking the news of Monica’s death. Body language shows a very calm Maribe, focused and normal character we see on TV. But look at what happens when she learns that the news would get her onto the murder hook. She looks totally changed, body language frail and often hiding from the camera.
If Maribe knew the death, she would not have the same courage to face the Camera’s like the way she had hidden her face in a cap and hood at DCI offices. She would have let someone else broke the news. Her case is just a coincidence. What Maribe holds is crucial information to send his man straight to the hangman
If this was a script as opined earlier, it will end in a lose, lose and lose situation. Where Speaker, Monica and Jowi all lose the stolen money from the public coffers in South Sudan!
