Jowie Irungu and his co-accused Jacque Maribe will know their fate on the murder of Monica Kimani on Friday February 9.
The change comes after both parties consented to the change of date
The judgement for the case had been postponed to March 15 after Maribe failed to show up in court on January 26. That was the third time the matter was being postponed.
Maribe missed the court date on grounds that she was ill.
Justice Grace Nzioka was forced to postpone the ruling to March after she established that all the dates between January and February had been booked for other roles.
Maribe was however accused of intentionally skipping court. She fired back to those who trolled her, saying that her body was not made with bricks.
“To humiliate someone because of ill heath is so wrong. I have never missed court except once when I was ill. We are making it an issue that in 5 years I fell ill. Kwani mwili yangu imejengwa na matofali?
“Hata that time I supposedly sought time to travel we were only being respectable enough to tell the court and there were no due date interfering with that,” she said.
