Suspect charged with the murder of Monica Kimani says he does not expect the judge handling his case to be fair to him after an alleged “woman eater” remark.

The complaint was raised on November 22, 2018, in the ongoing murder case linked to the killing of Monica Kimani. The accused, commonly known as Jowie, is seeking the judge’s removal from the matter on the basis that the comment has undermined confidence in the court’s impartiality.

The allegation centers on the claim that the judge referred to him as a “woman eater,” a description the suspect says makes a fair hearing unlikely. The source did not provide a judicial response to the complaint, and no ruling on the recusal request is included in the archive item.

The case remains tied to the murder charge involving Monica Kimani, with the dispute now extending beyond the facts of the killing to the question of whether the presiding judge should continue hearing the matter.
