Citizen TV News anchor Jacque Maribe, in recent days, has found herself the story in the ongoing murder investigations of slain businesswoman Monica Kimani’s murder.
The anchor was thrown into the limelight after her fiancé was arrested over the murder of Monica.

Before the arrest of her fiancé, Maribe read the news of Monica's murder when it broke out.
