A close friend to Jowi’s father, Julius Mwangi Irungu, told a local daily that the news of their son being involved in the murder of Monica Kimani has hit them hard.

This has forced them to maintain a low profile in their Lanet home to the extent of skipping yesterday’s Sunday service.

The former colleague to Jowi’s father told The Standard that older Irungu is still struggling to believe that his son is implicated in the heinous act.

“Mr. Irungu still can’t believe that his son committed murder. He is also concerned about his wife (Joseph’s mother), the news hit her hard,” reports The Standard.

The murder has also affected media personality Jacque Maribe who turned from a witness to a suspect. The Citizen TV news anchor was arrested on Friday and she will be remanded until October 11.
