In her statement, she insists that news about Irungu's connection to Monica's murder shocked her thus the decision to move to her parents house.
For the better part of Thursday, Maribe had reportedly refused to pick calls from detectives but would later give in later on.
Detectives have established that Irungu was in the deceased's house in Kilimani until late hours and left in a vehicle registered under Ms. Maribe's name.
