The ongoing murder trial involving media personality Jacque Maribe and her ex-fiance Joeseph Irungu a.k.a Jowie has hit headlines.

Yesterday, Jacque was in court where a number of witnesses testified.

George Kimani, Monica's brother, on Tuesday told the court that her boyfriend Yassir Mohammed did not attend the burial Kimani "despite informing him about it".

Government analyst Joseph Kimani told the court that the straps, which form part of the exhibits he was required to profile, did not link Joseph Irungu, alias Jowie, to them in any way.

The DNA on the white straps used to tie the hands of businesswoman Monica Kimani before her throat was slit were of an unknown origin, a court heard on Tuesday.

The pathologist told Justice James Wakiaga that he received 73 exhibits from the police as well as DNA samples and swabs from several people.

During his cross-examination on Tuesday, Kimani said the DNA on the empty Beer can and the white straps were of different unknown origins.
