Kenyan writer and journalist Brian Kasaine, has come out to clarify that he is not the suspect in Monica Kimani’s murder. Although his image is not the one used on TV, Brian complained that people are dragging him into a matter that does not involve him.
There has been a lot of confussion, and my image has been left dangling precariously.I am a different Brian Kasaine,and if I have any gun,it’s in my stories,shot by my characters.#JackieMaribe @citizentvkenya @ntvkenya @KTNNews @RobertAlai @JeffKoinange pic.twitter.com/OupJC4FRLb

People on twitter have advised him to change his twitter handle in the meantime to avoid the confusion.
Hey innocent Brian, pole, might help if you changed your handle to Brian_Kasaine_Yule_ Mwingine for now … on a light note.

One Kenyan admitted that it is the ongoing case that led him to the writers twitter handle. Maybe this is the same that happened to other twitter users. A sign of curiosity in knowing the details of the third suspect who was arrested in connection to Monica Kimani’s murder case. The man appeared in court yesterday with his face covered throughout the court session that is said to have lasted for about an hour. A while after the court case, Kenyans began raising the question of why his identity was not revealed.
pole bro that saga directed me here

Another man who seems to be a close friend to writer Brian Kasaine also spoke to clarify that the writer is not the man in question.
I know a Brian Kasaine. This is him @kasaine_brian. He’s not in the news though, mostly coz he writes it. (for @KenyaBuzz ?)

He’s not Jacque Maribe’s neighbour, but he is mine at the office. And I can vouch that he’s kind enough to give me his stuff – ALWAYS.

He doesn’t own a gun, although he does have a dope ass pen – obviously, coz it’s mightier ✍️

In a humorous way, Brian who is a writer and journalist stated “I have guns,I don’t refute.But they are in my stories though, and the characters I create shoot them. I’m not the one in police custody,but congratulations, you found a creative writer, journalist with @KenyaBuzz, your no.1 destination for events, lifestyle and movie content. He is known for one of his published book titled around the campfire an he probably has more. KenyaBuzz also reacted to this confusion saying that, “We have a responsibility as the media to give our audiences the honest FULLY researched truth! His only GUN is his pen! ”
