As of 2019, Joseph Irungu, alias Jowie, remains incarcerated in prison as the primary suspect in the murder of Monica Kimani.
His cousin, social media influencer Joe Muchiri, recently shared a memory of the two from a year ago, highlighting Jowie's party animal personality and the outpouring of support from friends and family.
However, the comments section was filled with concerns about Jowie's well-being and the perceived unfairness of his situation, with many questioning why he was denied bail while others, like Sarah Wairimu and Jacque Maribe, were granted bail as main suspects in murder cases.
Joe Muchiri addressed these concerns, stating that Jowie is 'hanging in there' and that people should not give up hope for his release.
As the debate continues, Kenyans are left to wonder about the fairness of the justice system and the treatment of Jowie Irungu.
