Monica Kimani was found dead at her apartment in Lamuria Gardens Apartment in Kilimani in September 2018 leading to the subsequent arrest and charging of Maribe and Irungu.
On March 13, Justice Grace Nzioka sentenced Jowie to death after being found guilty of murdering the late businesswoman.
In her ruling, the High Court Judge pointed out that the murder of the late businesswoman was planned, and intended before being executed.
“I have ordered that the first accused person before this court Joseph Kuria Irungu alias Jowie shall suffer death as provided for the offense of murder under section 204 of the penal code of Kenya and that sentence is set aside by a lawfully competent jurisdiction,” Justice Nzioka ordered.
However, Jowie through his lawyer Andrew Muge has filed a notice of appeal against his death sentence.
