Jacque Maribe decides to save herself and testify against fiancé Joseph Irungu?

Detectives have built a watertight case against Joseph Irungu and now it’s up to Jacque Maribe to decide whether she play loyal and sink with her fiancé or save her own skin.

Jacque’s lawyer Katwa Kigen hinted to Saturday Standard that his client was considering cutting a deal with the prosecution that could see her testify against Irungu.

The defense team is also considering filing an application to demand the release of Jacque on grounds that she is no longer a person of interest in Monica Kimani’s murder.

They are basing the application on grounds that detectives are yet to take DNA samples from Jacque as they requested in court.

She will readily assist police

Katwa Kigen told Saturday Standard that Jacque will readily assist police if called upon to say whatever she knows. The lawyer, who was visiting Jacque at Gigiri Police, didn’t immediately confirm that his client would testify against her fiancé.

“If our client is called in by the police to say whatever she knows, she will readily assist. Some of the details they were looking for are whether our client knew Monica. It has been established that they did not know each other. This automatically removes her from the scene of crime,” said Katwa Kigen.
