Her lifeless body was discovered at her residence in Lamuria Gardens on September 20, 2018.
Kimani’s tragic demise occurred shortly after her return from Juba, South Sudan, where she managed a family enterprise.
Both Maribe and Irungu have been formally charged with the crime of murder. Despite the allegations, they both pleaded not guilty.
