Principal Magistrate Justus Kituku asked the police to continue holding the journalist as investigations into the murder of Monica Kimani continue.

Joseph Irungu, Maribe's fiance, is accused of killing Monica Kimani in Kilimani area.

The order came after the journalist spent the weekend behind bars at the Gigiri Police Station over the gruesome murder after being arrested on Friday.

Authorities were initially treating her as a witness but turned her into a suspect after intense grilling sessions at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters and her home.
