Finally the Directorate of public prosecutions has agreed that Citizen TV’s Jaque Maribe should get to ride in own car after consenting the release of the Vehicle that was allegedly used in the murder of business woman Monica Kimani.
State Counsel Catherine Mwaniki told Justice James Wakiaga that they had consented with the defense to use photographs of the car as evidence in their murder case.
Maribe on Wednesday withdrew an application she had filed seeking to compel the DPP’s office to release her car.
Lawyer Katwa Kigen told the court that after consultations they had decided to withdraw the application for the release of her Toyota Allion.
At the same time, Joseph ‘Jowie’ Irungu who was charged alongside Maribe with the murder of Kimani also withdrew his application for the bail.
Last week the prosecution had maintained that they would not release her vehicle to her because it forms part of the evidence to be used in their case.
In an affidavit, Investigating Officer Maxwell Otieno said the vehicle was to be relied on during the prosecution’s case.
