Top Kenyan news anchor to be charged with murder

Kenya’s public prosecutor has confirmed that television journalist Jacque Maribe and her fiancé may be charged with the murder of a woman in Nairobi.

Jackie Maribe, a news anchor with Citizen television, is expected to plead on Monday after a mental assessment is done.

Ms Maribe and her fiancé Joseph Kuria Irungu were in court together for the first time after appearing separately in previous hearings.

The court heard that both will be charged with the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani, whose body was located in a tub last month along with her hands tied behind her back and her throat slit.

However the prosecution want to verify Jackie’s state of mind through a medical evaluation before formally charging her.

A police affidavit presented formerly in court said Mr Kuria was positively identified to have been at the home of the deceased on the night of the murder, and that he drove Ms Maribe’s car to the deceased’s residence.

Police are convinced that they had been together at the night Ms Kimani was murdered. Police additionally say they recovered vital evidence from the detained couple’s shared apartment.
