33 witnesses have been lined up to testify against Jacque Maribe and Joseph Irungu popularly known as Jowie in the murder trial of Monica Kimani.
According to the prosecution, four out of the 33 are protected witnesses by the state while five of them are expert witnesses.
Appearing before Justice John Wakiaga on Tuesday, assistant director of Public Prosecution Catherine Mwaniki mentioned that the prosecution has secured air-tight evidence including photographs and digital records to prove their case.
Additionally, the prosecution objected the release of Jowie on claims that he is likely to interfere with the investigations.
Justice Wakiaga is set to make a ruling on his release on June 18,2019.
Together with his former fiance, Jackie, Irungu denied the charges of committing murder after being charged on October 15, 2018.
The two were first arraigned in court on September 27, where the court allowed the police 10 days to conclude their investigations before they faced the charges.
