Witnesses and family of slain lady Monica Nyawira Kimani have given accounts of what transpired in the hours leading to her murder.
According to reports by The Standard, Monica is said to have arrived from Juba, South Sudan where she had gone for three weeks to run a family business.
Police were told that she had been dropped at her apartment on Lamuria Gardens off Dennis Pritt road at 7:15 pm on Wednesday, September 19.
According to a Lebanese neighbour who had gone to Monica's house to greet her moments after she arrived from Juba, she picked up some clothes that she had ordered dropped at the gate and her house keys before retiring to her apartment A8 on the third floor.
On the same evening, she was visited by two men - a Lebanese and a Kenyan - who have since recorded statements explaining how and why they were in Monica's house.
One of the men, identified as Owen, was carrying a South Sudan-registered motor vehicle number plate which he had been asked by Monica to supply for her car.
Accounts of the two men indicate that they were inside Monica's apartment when Joseph Kuria Irungu alias Joe Jowi walked in, wearing a white kanzu and a cap.
The men told police that he hugged her and introduced himself as Joe before going to the kitchen and walking back with a glass of wine.
In their account, the Lebanese and Owen excused themselves and left when Joe entered the house.
"The Lebanese was the first to leave followed by Owen. Irungu remained in the house until late in the night before he drove out past 2 am," a police source was quoted.
Irungu is said to have presented a fake national identity card bearing the name of a Dominic to the guards at the compound when he drove in and out of the compound.
Multilateration (MLAT) surveillance technology, which measures the difference in distance to two stations, indicated that Joe had been at Luciane Apartments on Kitale Lane off Denis Pritt Road on the day the deceased was killed.
Investigators note that his mobile phone was switched off for the better part of Thursday when Monica's body was found.
On Thursday, her brother found her dead in the apartment after she failed to pick calls and travel to the airport for her flight to Dubai.
Her lifeless body was in a bathtub with her throat slit and police are looking for items used to kill her including a knife and a cellophane tape. Her house and car keys and some clothes were also found missing.
According to her father Reverend Paul Ngarama, Monica was set to fly to Dubai to meet her fiancé when she met her untimely death.
