The Prosecution has presented new evidence that could directly link Jacque Maribe to businesswoman Monica Kimani’s murder.
Prosecutor Catherine Mwaniki Mwaniki opened by saying, “Life is sacrosanct. We shall also prove that; there was an attempted cover-up from both accused. That at the time of the incident, there wasn’t a provoked fight, therefore no self-defence and that the two accused can be deemed as principal offenders.”
Key is evidence presented in pictorial format is a briefcase packed with bullets found in the ceiling, of Maribe’s apartment. The briefcase was wrapped in a plastic bag. It had bullets and spent cartridges wrapped in a white paper. There were also two empty magazines.
Yesterday, the two denied killing Monica at her Lamuria Gardens house on 19th September last year.
The trial will last three days after the suspects took fresh pleas. The prosecution amended Irungu’s name to include an alias, Harun
Monica, according to the pathologist, died as a result of a wound caused by a sharp object. He body had bruises on one of the wrists. Both wrists were bound with a sealing tape.
