The proposal, beamed live on Instagram, achieved its intended purpose as it catapulted the hunk reveler to the life of a celebrity.

Jowie, it seems, knows a trick or two in the advertising world; you hang around a brand and steal the airtime.

But little did he know that the publicity he milked from Maribe was nothing as what was to thrust him to the limelight is a murder case.

Police suspect that Jowie is the person who tied Monica Kimani at her Kilimani house in Kilimani, went for a knife and slit her neck before dumping her body in a bathtub.

In trying to unmask who Jowie truly is, we have been able to identify his ex-lover.

Jowie was dating Maureen Kahehu, a University of Nairobi graduate with interest in modeling.

Here are photos of the beauty queen.
