Detectives investigating the gruesome murder of business woman Monica Nyawira Kimani have had a major breakthrough after a DNA analysis placed the main suspect right at the crime scene. Homicide detectives investigating the mysterious and gruesome killing confirmed Joseph Irungu, a prime suspect in the case, most likely perpetrated the crime.

The detectives’ findings indicated samples obtained from Irungu matched 99.9% with those taken from a masking tape used to muzzle the victim, proving he was in the apartment in which Kimani was killed. The test specimen further corresponded to DNA samples on a rope used by the killer to tie her hands and those on blood stains discovered on a seat inside the slain woman’s house. The 28-year-old Kimani was found dead in her posh house on Thursday, September 20, in Kilimani, Nairobi, a day after jetting in from South Sudan. Her throat was cut from ear to ear with her mouth sealed and her body left in a bathtub with water running. Police are holding three suspects including Irungu’s lover Citizen TV news anchor Jacque Maribe in connection with the murder. Both Maribe and Irungu were produced in court but did not take any plea as investigating officers wanted more time to conclude the probe. Maribe would thus be expected to appear in court again on October 11, while her fiance will be held in police custody until October 9 when he will take plea.
