The court has affirmed that the first accused person knew Monica Kimani prior to her death.
Jowie is the first accused person in the murder trial of Monica. He was charged alongside Jacque Maribe in 2018
Jowie had claimed he did not know Monica before her death.
Justice Grace Nzioka said the issue arose because the evidence of the first accused person is, that he did not know the deceased at all prior to her death.
"It is the finding of this court, that the evidence by the first accused person that he did not know the deceased prior to her death is untenable, insincere and it is an afterthought and it is false," Justice Grace Nzioka said.
"The court finds that the first accused person was known to the deceased because they were together at Kenya Polytechnic. They were in the same class taking the same course."
The judgment had been adjourned twice with the last time Maribe's advocate Katwa Kigen indicating to the court she was unwell.
Monica’s body was found at her Lamuria Gardens Apartment which is located on Kitale Lane off Denis Pritt Road in Kilimani.
The two have been on trial since 2018, with the prosecution having called 35 witnesses. The defence did not call any witnesses.
