Citizen TV journalist Jacque Maribe has won the battle to get back her car.
Previously, the DPP’s office has said it cannot release her car as it’s evidence in businesswoman Monica Kimani’s murder.
In an affidavit, investigating officer Maxwell Otieno says the Toyota Allion will be relied on during the prosecution’s case.
“The IC3 Cameras placed the vehicle and the mobile phone handsets at places of interest in our investigations,” the affidavit reads.
However, today in court,the prosecution told the court all they needed are photographs of the car.
Meaning the long wait to get back her vehicle is over.
Maribe had applied to have a car back telling the court the Prosecution had no reason to hold it anymore.
The prosecution had told the court last month that they could not release the car because it was an exhibit that could only be produced during hearing.
Last year, Jacque was charged alongside her ex-fiance, Joseph Irungu, alias Jowie, with the murder of businesswoman Kimani.
They both denied the charge. Maribe was released on Sh1 million bail. Irungu is still in custody.
In October last year, Wakiaga cited Irungu’s history with guns and said he would pose a risk by creating fear and intimidating witnesses.
