On Thursday, Jowie Irungu, the main suspect in the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani told the court he did not know his alleged victim.
Jowie made this statement even as the prosecution said some witnesses had said he was with him and Monica on the night she was killed.
Lee Owen the seventh prosecution witness in the case testified in court stating that Jowie was with Monica at her house in Lamuria Gardens on the night of September 19th.
Owen identified Jowie in court as the person he met that day.
The prosecution further pointed out the testimony of a guard from Lamuria Gardens who was able to identify Jowie in court.
But Jowie still denied knowing Monica.
The prosecution then went ahead to produce three video clips all obtained from Jowies iPhone.
One of the clips had Monica, and his brother George in it having drinks in the company of others.
But Jowie still maintained Monica was a stranger to him pushing a narrative that the video could have been sent by a third party.
It was his testimony that he only knew the brother George Kimani whom they schooled together at Kenya Polytechnic.
Jowie insisted that he did not know Monica, and never visited her house yet from the prosecution's case, Monica's DNA profile was generated from a brown short collected at Jowies house in Langata.
The khaki short has a blood stain said to be Monica's. But Jowie has since denied owning the short saying his was brown in colour similar to his shoes.
Irungu and Maribe are jointly charged with the murder of Monica whose body was found in a bathtub in her house at Lamuria Gardens in Kilimani, Nairobi county on September 19, 2018.
They have both denied the charges. The court found they have a case to answer after the prosecution closed its case.
