“Take notice that the Republic, the intended Appellant herein, being dissatisfied with the decision of the High Court of Kenya at Nairobi (Hon. G. Nzioka), delivered in Nairobi on February 9, 2024, appeals to the Court of Appeal against the part of the judgment acquitting the 2nd Accused Person,” the notice read in part.

In the ruling, Judge Grace Nzioka declared that the DPP did not provide enough evidence to implicate Maribe in Monica’s murder.

Maribe was said to have willingly lied to police officers to derail the case. 

While acquitting Maribe, Judge Grace Nzioka found Joseph Irungu alias Jowie guilty of murder and set his sentencing to March 8.
