(KDRTV) – Joseph Irungu alias Jowie has been released from the Manyani Maximum Prison on a KSh 3 Million cash bail.
Jowie who is the main suspect in the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani has been in prison since September 2018 when he was arrested.
In his ruling on Thursday, Justice James Wakiaga said that there are no compelling reasons to continue detaining Jowie and that circumstances had already changed.
Welcome to the free world Jowie. Being granted bail was long overdue. We will continue praying that justice is done for all, the late Monica, Jacque and yourself.

Jowie had been denied bail twice on the basis of being a flight risk and lacking a known address.
His co-accused Jacque Maribe, his fiancee at the time was granted bail.
