His life however took a different turn following the horrific murder of Monica Kimani as he was arrested as the main suspect and remanded for close to two years before being released on bail.
In the first ruling of Jowie’s bail application, High Court Judge Justice James Wakiaga described him as a male version of a slay queen and further denied his bail application on the ground that he had no permanent home hence was likely to flee the country.
“… a male version of a slay queen, which for lack of a better word I’ll call a woman eater. He was living in the house of the second accused. Driving the second accused’s car, with no known source of income since 2017 when he provided security for some Jubilee politicians,” Justice Wakiaga said.

“Staying here has made me realize that mosquitoes can be ruthless,” he said with a chuckle. “Mosquito nets are a luxury. Your work is to fight with the insects, crushing them against the wall, ” he added.
Following recent development, the prison life seems to have taught him life lessons the hard way as he is set to release a new gospel song dubbed Nishikilie.
