DCI Tests Jacque Maribe's Knife

Kitchen utensil belonging to Citizen TV journalist Jacque Maribe has been taken in for tests by detectives as part of investigations into Monica Kimani’s murder.

Officers investigating the murder on Thursday night obtained a knife belonging to Maribe and subjected it to forensic tests to establish if it was the murder weapon used to kill the 29-year old on September 19.

Police reports concluded that Monica’s killer was highly trained and executed her with the precision of a trained assassin.

It was further revealed that there was no struggle or noise made by Monica when her killer struck as reported by Daily Nation.

Monica’s body was discovered by her brother George in a bathtub at her Luciane apartments on Kitale Lane off Dennis Pritt road on 20th September 2018.

“I came to check on her since my mother had called and she wasn’t picking. I sent her a message but she never replied yet we were to meet since she was to travel to Dubai today,” remarked George when he spoke to Citizen Digital.

The deceased ran a family business in South Sudan where she had just returned from and it is alleged that she had been in the company of two of her friends on that fateful night.

It was revealed that she had moved into her current residence in June 2018 after leaving a house she had bought at Ruaka.

The slain businesswoman was laid to rest on September 28 at her family's farm in Chemichemi village, Gilgil in Nakuru County.

During her burial, her father Reverend Kennedy Mbatia stated that the family had forgiven the killers but called for the culprits to be prosecuted.
