“It has come to my attention that I have been allegedly summoned by DCI in connection to my friend Jacqui’s arrest. First I would like clarify that DCI has not reached out to me and I have only read about it online.”

The rumor started after the arrest of Maribe and her fiancee as chief suspects in the murder which took place in Kilimani Estate two weeks ago.

The three media personalities have been linked with the case since they were present during Maribe’s engagement party in July this year.

But it seems that, is just a rumor if Terryanne’s statement is to be believed.

Maribe will be detained for 11 more days at the Gigiri police station as officers continue investigations into the murder.

“The general nature of the offence is a serious charge which could be accessory to murder and possession of firearms,” prosecutor Jacinta Nyamosi said.

However, Maribe’s lawyer Katwa Kigen opposed the application saying the court should give a maximum of three days for the prosecution to conclude their probe.

Maribe was arrested on Saturday after two days of interrogation by detectives.

A source privy to the investigations said Maribe was arrested after investigators recovered some documents, among them a wallet and a handbag believed to belong to Monica at her house in Royal Park, Lang’ata.
