Someone conducted a comprehensive analysis of the Jowie Irungu case. Jowie was convicted and sentenced to death by Lady Justice Grace Nzioka for the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani. The court found that the murder was intentional and premeditated. Despite his plea for a custodial sentence rather than the death penalty, the court upheld the sentence due to the gravity of the crime. This analysis points out peculiar aspects of the case that may interest you and I believe it’s worth sharing with the public as received for their insights and comments. Since it’s a lengthy document, I plan to break it down into a series of posts for easier consumption.
DNA
Let us look at what the reports say about DNA and samples taken from the scene of the crime and from the accused. Our reliable sources state that only Brian Kasaine, the 1st and 2nd accused whose DNA samples were taken. The sample forms are supposed to be signed by:
- A doctor
- The investigating officer
- The suspects.
However, in the papers presented to court, Mr Irungu’s DNA sample report was not signed by any of the above. We are curious to know why the forms presented in court were not complete.
Still on the DNA issue, the government pathologist told the court he received 73 exhibits from the police as well as DNA samples and swabs from several people.
Exhibits included charred clothes, open shoes, a bloodstained towel, adhesive tape, a knife, a wine glass, empty beer can and empty beer bottles.
However, reports indicate that there were two friends of the deceased, Mr Lee Owen Omondi and a Mr Daboul Walid, who identified Mr Irungu as the last person they left at the apartment.
The common thing would have been to have their DNA swabs taken too to rule them out from being suspects but our sources indicate that no DNA
samples were taken from the two said men.
So, what was used to rule them out as suspects?
If they were at any point at the scene of crime, what criteria was used to move them from being suspects to witnesses.
- NO DNA samples were taken.
So basically, the police used their word of mouth to rule them out as suspects. Police reports dragged two more unidentified people to the scene of the crime through their DNA Sweep.
We would like the police to explain to the general public why these samples were not taken. Who are the other unknown and unidentified males whose DNA was found on the beer cans and the white straps used to tie her hands?
Government analyst Joseph Kimani told the court that the straps, which form part of the exhibits he was required to profile, did not link Mr Irungu, to them in any way. So, whose, was it?
Reports indicate that Monicah Kimani wasapparently raped before being brutally murdered.
On the 4th and 5th October 2018, the Standard newspaper reported that a DNA test of semen found in Monicah’s pants matched Irungu’s by 99% therefore placed him at the centre of the crime scene.
Please note that the DNA sample forms presented in court state that the DNA samples of the 1st and the 2nd accused were taken on this very 5th of October at 18.10hrs.
So how did the police then issue a statement on the issue to the Standard Newspapers without having taken the samples first?
Now, Listen to this!
From our investigation desk, it has been made known to us that the Post-mortem report presented in court had nowhere mentioning that there were signs of rape neither is there any document presented in court indicating the same.
Who gave out this information? Remember, this is the only one time all samples taken in the Lamuria Gardens apartment are said to have matched Mr Irungu’s DNA.
Where are these results indicating a 99% match and why were they never presented
in court?
Please see screenshot of the post-mortem results below.
Still on the DNA issue, the investigating officer revealed that tests by the Government Chemist in a report reference A 199/2018 dated December 13, 2018, confirmed that DNA profile generated from the shorts Mr Irungu wore on the day of the murder marched that generated from Monicah’s blood sample.
Apparently, the Investigating officers found it appropriate to cut the area in which the stain of blood was in order to take it to the lab for further analysis.
They however cut both sides of the Khaki shorts insinuating that the blood stain had penetrated through the leg and onto the other side of the shorts. Something that is literally impossible.
