Influencer Joe Muchiri recently updated his fans on how his friend Jowie Irungu is faring in prison.
Joe took to his social media to hint at a recent visit to his BFF, sharing, “Kijana ako sawa, ana pambana tu na amewasalimia,” which loosely translates to, “The young man is OK, still pushing on, and he says Hi.”
Joseph 'Jowie' Irungu was sentenced to death on March 13, 2024, for the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani.
In February, Justice Nzioka ruled that the prosecution had proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Jowie was responsible for Monica’s murder. The sentencing, originally set for March 8, was delayed to March 13.
Monica Kimani was brutally killed on the night of September 19, 2018, at her Lamuria Gardens apartment in Nairobi.
Justice Grace Nzioka stated, “Having considered the evidence in this matter, it is the finding of this court that the prosecution has adduced adequate evidence and met the threshold… The court finds that the first accused person murdered the deceased.”
Former TV news anchor Jacque Maribe, who was charged alongside Jowie, was acquitted of the murder charge.
Justice Nzioka noted that murder was not the appropriate charge for Maribe, as the prosecution failed to place her at the crime scene.
Jowie later filed a notice to appeal against his conviction and death sentence.
