Joseph Irungu, the man who is at the center of the murder of Monica Kimani is already in the bad books for getting his pregnant girlfriend arrested over a murder she probably had nothing to do with.
Jacque Maribe, is currently in custody despite the fact that she is pregnant. It is also highly likely that she might lose her six figure salary job at Royal Media service.
But it seems she is not the only person that will sink with Jowi. According to detectives, a Doctor, a senior politician and a former radio presenter are among the people that will be interviewed in the high profile murder.
Irungu is said to have contacted the said people on the night of the murder. According to police, Irungu was ‘seeking advice on a matter that was disturbing him’
An analysis of mobile phone communication shows that Jowi contacted the four people a few hours hours after he left Monica’s house at Lamuria Gardens off Denis Pritt Road.
Police also said they were extending their investigation to South Sudan, with detectives planning to visit Juba, where Monica lived and worked, to retrace her movements and activities.
The team said it wanted to know what Monicah carried when she left Juba for Nairobi on September 19 as part of their investigations.
They also want to know what she did for a living, her earnings and any other activities she was engaged in. This will be part of their efforts to pursue the theory of money as the possible reason she was killed.
“The investigating team intends to extend their investigations to South Sudan where the deceased is said to have come from on the fateful day and interview and record statements of witnesses who may have crucial information regarding the deceased’s activities there,” said an affidavit sworn by police.
Police said they believed Monica was killed and robbed of an unknown amount of money. They are also pursuing a love triangle angle. In Juba, Monica ran her family’s business, Milly Paul General Trading Limited, which was started by her father when he ministered in the war-torn country.
The company provides cleaning services and was contracted by a number of Kenyan companies. It is not clear if she was engaged in any other business. There are reports she was close to top government officials in Juba, including some in the military.
