His good looks could have probably fooled so many girls that he allegedly dated including Citizen TV’s Jacque Maribe.
However a few of Joseph ‘Jowie’ Irungu friend’s have frevealed shocking details about him that no one knew about.
In a one woman’s revelation, Jowie’s generosity and wealth in one breath he never drove a car for a long time no drink was too expensive for him .However another one had a different account where she declared saying, he is a murder suspect.“He is creepy,” she added
Mr Irungu’s was not familiar to the public until he proposed to Jackie Matribe in June soon after in September he was pinned as the main suspect to Monica Kimani brutal murder.
The way he killed Ms.Kimani had the air of a thriller about it.His celebrity lifestyle and fine taste, as well as his dramatic fall, with a gunshot wound to the chest and a beautiful woman at his side in the dock, so surreal.
According to investigations are still ongoing trying to find out more about Irungu’s character, with sources saying he once worked for two military contract companies in Iraq and Afghanistan. working with KBR, a US deconstruction and private security firm, and O’Gara Group.
Jowie is also said to be a party animal with his favourite joints being,Kiza in Kilimani, Jiweke Tavern on Ngong Road, and 1824 on the opposite side of the city on Lang’ata Road.
According to a former friend and classmate, described him as a “mysterious” person. He said that Mr Irungu had a lot of money, but no one questioned its source because he had worked abroad.
“I have known him for more than 10 years,” he said. “We all knew he was working as a professional bouncer in the Middle East but did not go beyond that.”
Mr Irungu is a man who is not shy about showing his expensive lifestyle on social media. Pictures on his Instagram account, where he has more than 18,000 followers, speak volumes about his lavish experiences.A young city woman who said she went out with Mr Irungu and his clique on different occasions described him as “quite the marauding bull”.
Claiming that he is in the habit of dating women and dumping them quite fast. She also described him as an “overprotective” boyfriend who generously treats women.
According to our informer, the suspected murderer is a wild merrymaker, a lifestyle that is supported by his pockets, which apparently run deep.
“There is no drink Jowie cannot afford. He drinks whatever he wants. He is free with his money,” she said.
“Before he broke up with one of his girlfriends, Jowie would take her on vacation to the Middle East, where they obviously seemed to have a good time together.”
Over time, though, the trips took a slump, and it is rumoured that Mr Irungu had been banned from travelling to the United Arab Emirates for unknown reasons.
The suspect allows very few people into his apartment in Buru Buru Phase Two.
Until recently, he was staying with a man named Mark Kaloki before they fell out.
“Jowie started living alone after Mr Kaloki left. Very few of his friends go to his house,” she said.
According to another woman’s account Irungu is very descrete about his private life.He carries a gun, tucked under his jacket,” she added
“He does not appear suspicious in any way, unless you are very close to him,” she said.
If, indeed, Mr Irungu worked for KBR, then he was a member of a large network of private soldiers working for the US government as private armies run by security companies.
KBR has been stalked by scandals that range from bribery in Nigeria to sexual harassment of its female workers in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan.
It has also been accused of exposing its workers to “burn pits” in Afghanistan and Iraq, where human corpses, animal carcasses and tyres were burnt.
Whether Mr Irungu worked for O’Gara group could not be independently confirmed, but the group’s president, Mr Bill O’gara, has been quoted as saying that the group provides training in explosives ordnance disposal “that is purely defensive in nature and for the sole purpose of antiterrorism and protection of personnel and facilities”.
