Rural Times News Author — Wed, 13 Mar 2024 15:20:03 +0300

Joseph Irungu alias Jowie has finally been sentenced to death for the brutal murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani. While delivering the judgement, the court noted that the action of Jowie was not accidental, and that the accused intentionally planned and executed the murder. “First accused Jowie shall suffer death under the penal code of Kenya,”stated justice Nzioka. “The Murder was not accidental that the perpetrator’s action was intentional. Not a defensive act, it was planned, intended and executed.” The sentencing followed a lengthy trial and recent postponements in the legal proceedings that had implicated Joseph Irungu alias Jowie in the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani. Justice Grace Nzioka while delivering the sentence, called on the importance of duly observing the sentence process. The sentence, she says was firmly based on the evidence adduced in the court, nature of the offence and strongly pointing out the unique circumstances of each case. ●Via Times.com
