Reports have emerged that Citizen TV’s fiance Jowie Iringu indeed tried to commit suicide by shooting himself on the shoulder.
According to sources the apparent suicide attempt was done inside her girlfriend’s Jacque Maribe’s house in Lang’ata
In addition sources revealed that the gun he used to apparently commit suicide with was discovered after a thourough search in three houses.
The Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) George Kinoti led his very able team of detectives on a near nightlong search at a house in Nairobi’s Buruburu estate, the other two houses were that of Citizen TV news anchor Jackie Maribe’s house in Langata and her neigbhor’s house.
The puzzle of the gunshot wound under Jowie’s shoulder has preoccupied officers for the last three days.
The owner of the gun, who police sources claim is one Brian Kassaine Spira, has also been arrested.
They further revealed that on a further search on Friday night, partially burnt clothes were discovered behind the house in Langata where the shooting occurred.
The remains of the clothing have been taken for DNA testing to see if they are the clothes Joseph Irungu was wearing during the shooting incident.
The mother of one has kept her relationship under wraps and at one point, she was rumoured to be dating StateHouse the Secretary of Innovation, Digital and Diaspora Communication in the Office of the President Dennis Itumbi.
The rumour was fuelled after the Secretary of Innovation, Digital and Diaspora Communication in the Office of the President interrupted her while live on air and presented her with a birthday cake.
Irungu is a bouncer in Dubai where he runs private security, his paramilitary training added much points to hit credentials. He’s also famous in Nairobi’s social circles as he’s a party animal. If established, it shows this what he’s been doing.
The burden is the police to link the faked shooting and the murder which can be done by trailing his movements that day. Motive of the murder is yet to be established and the gruesome manner in which it was done leaves a lot to desire.
