Prime suspect in Monica Kimani's murder Joseph Irungu alias Jowie has written a letter to Chief Justice David Maraga chaired JSC asking for recusal of Justice James Wakiaga from his came.
In the letter, Jowie accuses Wakiaga of partiality in handling of his case, citing 'woman-eater' remarks in the ruling that condemned him to prison as the major reason.
Further, Irungu raises fears that should the judge preside over the case, he's not likely to get justice given the attitude of the judge.
“By describing me as a woman-eater, the judge abused his position and compounded the female gender to be nothing less than items to be eaten which is quite foul, degrading coming from a sitting judge,” reads the letter.
Jowie explains that “Indeed the judge used the most uncouth, derogatory and injudicious language against me as being a male version of a slay queen.
”According to jowie, the judge literally means that jowie is a cannibal, promiscuous, adulterous and or living off unknown women.
“In the words of the Judge, I am a hopeless person who depends on women for sex and kill them if I must. In his mind, the judge is already convinced, believes and has pre-empted my guilt, awaiting conviction and sentence.” Jowie adds.https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/ureport/article/2001302906/jowie-writes-to-maraga-over-woman-eater-tag
