Already , 3 suspects have been arrested. Joseph Irungu, Jacque Maribe and Brian Kasaine (Who was arrested after police found a gun in his house )
Kenyans on twitter have given their comments following the courts decision that will place Maribe behind bars until the 11th of October.
I get disappointed when @citizentvkenya refers to their employee Ms. Maribe as “TV Journalist” because of the predicament she is going through. I get disappointed with Kenyans; quick in passing judgement and making snide comments. Jacquie Maribe is innocent until proven guilty. https://t.co/9DWJ8pnDmP

Her mode of dressing during the court session also seems to irritate Kenyans. Kenyans have stated the how she has been presenting herself is quite suspicious.
Who doesn’t know Maribes face? We have all watched her anchor news on an international TV n no point of bidding her face on hoods n caps,, she should stop playing guilty
