Joseph Irungu, main suspect in the heinous murder of Monica Kimani, had sexual contact with the deceased on the day of her murder.
This is according to DNA evidence, that detectives will be using when Jowi is arraigned in court on Monday.
Jowie is due in court on Monday when he will formally plead to the murder charge, among other charges, including giving false information to police.
Detectives investigating the murder are now certain Jowie was involved after DNA tests turned positive, indicating that he actually played part in the killing of the 28-year-old businesswoman.
Police had asked for more time to probe Jowie and his fiancée Jackie Maribe, a journalist with Royal Media Services-owned Citizen TV, who has prominently featured in the investigation since her arrest on Saturday last week.
Jowie, Maribe and their neighbour at Royal Park estate in Lang’ata, Brian Kasaine are all in custody, having been arraigned in court over the murder that occurred on the night on September 29, before her body was discovered in a bathtub at her apartment in Lamuria Gardens in Kilimani, with her throat slit.
Her hands and legs were also tied when the body was discovered by her brother who had failed to reach her on phone and decided to visit the house.
“The DNA results are out and it is a 99.99 per cent match of the samples harvested from Jowie,” a senior detective at the Homicide unit, who saw the results told newsrooms. “We have no doubt that Jowie was at the scene,” he emphasized, also citing a forensic examination of his fingerprints.
The Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti was not willing to discuss the probe in detail, but has hinted that two of the suspects in custody will face a murder charge.
Results on samples taken from Maribe are not yet out for police to confirm if she was with Jowie at the crime scene, after CCTV footage in the compound showed that he was accompanied by another person when he drove in Maribe’s Toyota Allion, that is detained at Kilimani Police Station.
The deceased was murdered on the day she arrived in the country from Juba, where she operated their family business, and was scheduled to travel to Dubai to meet her South Sudanese fiancée, with whom they were reportedly planning a wedding.
After allegedly killing Monica, Jowie reportedly went to Maribe’s house, where they lived together, and shot himself on the shoulder after an argument with the TV presenter but the two reported the matter at Lang’ata Police Station as an attack by gunmen outside their house. Jowie had been living with Maribe since June this year when he proposed to her at an event streamed live on their social media accounts.
