Jacque Maribe freed on , Jowie denied bail

Citizen TV journalist Jacque Maribe has been released on a Sh1 million cash bail in the Monica Kimani murder case.

She was granted an alternative of a Sh2 million bond or three sureties of a similar amount.

Her fiance Joseph Irungu alias Jowie, however, will remain in custody for the rest of the murder trial.

Justice James Wakiaga, citing Jowie's history with guns, said the first accused would pose a risk by creating fear and intimidating witnesses.

The judge, in his ruling on Tuesday, said material placed before the court informed his decision on Jowie's bail application.

"Being a person with specialised security training, and having handle various guns, he would pose a risk by intimidating witnesses."
