Bishop Paul Kimani Ngarama, the father of Monica Kimani, who was found dead in her bathtub and her throat slit, was quick to point out that her daughter’s killers were not after her money but after her life.
“Whoever did it was not her friend because a friend cannot rape,” said the clergyman during an interview with Nation at his home in Thika.
Bishop Ngarama, of the Rebuilding Apostolic Mission Church, described his daughter as a “morally upright and hard-working child who bore no grudge with anyone”.
He said he was hopeful that justice would be done.
But his wife Miriam Kimani said she cannot forgive her daughter’s killer(s).“I cannot lie to you that I have forgiven him. I want justice for my hardworking daughter,” said Mrs Kimani.
Mr Joseph Irungu, the prime suspect in the killing of Ms Kimani, was remanded for 10 days by a Kiambu court Wednesday.
