Monica Kimani’s younger brother George is hoping that his family will receive justice for her brutal death that occurred in September 2018.
Speaking to Citizen Digital, George said that the family had hoped to find closure in the matter last year, but the court has kept postponing the ruling.
George admitted that they have been having tough days, and their mother was the most affected.
“It has really taken long, we have been going to court for over five years, we knew the matter would come to an end last year so that we can all move on. We have tough days, especially our parents but we just cope.
“Justice is the only thing that we want, it will bring closure to the family. The past years have not been easy on us, especially our mother she is the most affected. We try and protect her from the noise and hurtful things said about my sister but I believe all this will come to an end once we get justice,” he said.
According to him, Monica, who was 28-years old then, was the managing director of their family business in South Sudan.
“She was our firstborn and the driver behind the family business in South Sudan where she was the managing director of our company. She was my boss, a good friend and hardworking. It was painful losing her in that cruel manner,” George said.
“Those who knew my sister at a personal level know that she was a giver, nurtured and brought out the best in people. I learnt a lot through her she ushered us into her company and help us. She was a loving sister, she played a very big role in our milestones as a family. There are things that she bought us that we can never forget,” he added.
George further said that Monica’s biggest undoing was trusting everyone, not knowing how to differentiate friends and enemies.
He also said that the family was yet to recover Monica’s Kshs4 million home in Kiambu county 6 years later.
Former Citizen TV Journalist Jacque Maribe and her ex-lover Jowie Irungu were charged with the matter and they will know their verdict on Friday February 9.
