Maribe’s Joy Cut Short
Close to 7 years now, the case of a business Woman Monica Kimani has been doing rounds of Trials in the High court. Late last week, a verdict was reached and the High court came to a ruling that found Joseph Irungu alias ‘jowie’ guilty and former news anchor Jackie Maribe was acquitted.
Maribe’s acquittal may be cut short due to the notice of appeal that has been filled with the Director of Public Prosecution. The DPP sates that the republic is dissatisfied with the decision of the High court in Kenya and appeals to the court of appeal against that judgement where Jackie Maribe gets acquitted.
Jackie was acquitted through the ruling of the High court Judge Grace Nzioka after the prosecution failed to provide enough evidence linking Maribe to the murder that had occurred in 19th of September 2019.Maribe might have provided false information to the police but there was no proper chare against her and so called out to the Director of Public Prosecution for they know their mandate.
Maribe has been charged jointly with his ex-fiancé Joseph Irungu who was found guilty and his sentence will be delivered on the 15th of March 2023.
