Joseph Irungu popularly known as ‘Jowie’ has been handed a death sentence in the September 2018 murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani.
While delivering the sentence, today, Wednesday 13.03.2024, Justice Esther Nzioka indicated that the nature of the killing warranted the highest penalty.
“After the commission of the offense, there was an attempt to conceal the evidence. The crime had serious psychological and physical harm to the victim and the family. The prosecution invited this court to pronounce a death sentence,” she stated while reading out the judgement.
She stated that Jowie was ineligible for rehabilitation as the crime was beyond restitution.
