Kasaine said he was at his Royal Park estate house in Langata on September 21 when he was woken up at around midnight by someone banging on his gate.
He hesitated opening the gate but when the banging persisted, he concluded it could only be either Maribe or Irungu who were in the habit of running to him whenever they had a fight.
“They fought frequently,”Kasaine said.
The frequent fighting between the two were confirmed by another neighbour who said the couple “fought alot.” Kasaine said when he opened the gate, he found Irungu lying on the ground bleeding from his left shoulder.
Kasaine said Irungu shot himself in an attempt to commit suicide after a fight with Maribe.
“If you wanted to see me dead now it has happened! “ Irungu shouted at Maribe who had followed him to
Kasaine’s house.
Kassin, this is a monkey wrench. This whole saga doesn’t add up. So they were fighting; why is the Kasaine guy in the cooler? So did he shot himself to impress his g/f and then lie to cover up for her? In which case he’s a juvenile delinquent. And what does that sh*t got to do with the slain girl?
I’m not sure the school canteen reporters at the Star are not reporting their own hair brain theories rather than the investigation revelations.
[INDENT]So far, they have received statements of Brian Kassaine, a neighbour and a mutual friend who revealed how Irungu attempted to commit suicide by shooting himself with his (Kassaine’s) gun.[/INDENT]

[INDENT]He also told investigators how Irungu had earlier gone to his house seeking paraffin when he wanted to burn some clothes.[/INDENT]
Now I see what’s going on. See right there is why Kassaine is in jail. If he didn’t have paraffin, he should have driven the idiot to the nearest gas station so he could accomplish his task of ‘burning clothes’. Darwinism dictates that a bulb in his head would have lit up instructing him to set himself alight (a la Richard Pryor).
Just like that, and we’d have another episode of “dumb criminals”, made in Ke.
Impunity is fighting back and doing so through the media with incessant leaks. Any ordinary mwananchi would still face prosecution and prison time for confessing to their role in a murder. Lying to police officers is also an offence. She can face a reduced sentence for her cooperation but being set free contrary to the evidence would be a miscarriage of justice.
[INDENT]Citizen TV celebrity anchor Jacque Maribe may not be charged but might become a prosecution witness against her fiance, Joseph Irungu, alias Jowie. This is because she has recanted her earlier statement to police explaining how Irungu was shot. Irungu is the prime suspect in the murder of businesswoman Monica Nyawira in Kilimani. He denies wrongdoing. With the retraction, Maribe may now testify against Irungu who faces charges of murder and attempted suicide. The Star [/INDENT]
