On November 22, 2019, Jacque Maribe's father made a heartwarming appearance in court, offering words of comfort to her ex-fiance Jowie.
As Jowie made a fresh bail application, claiming he was suffering in prison, his father stood by him, a testament to their strong bond.
Jowie, the main suspect in Monica Kimani's death, has been held at Kamiti Maximum Prison for 431 days, awaiting trial.
Despite his prolonged detention, Jowie's bail applications have been denied, leaving him to endure the harsh conditions of prison life.
However, in a bid to alleviate his suffering, Jowie's lawyer argued that he deserved bail, citing the fact that his co-accused, Jacque Maribe, had been granted bail and had not absconded court.
As the court deliberated on Jowie's bail application, his father remained steadfast in his support, a gesture that has earned him praise from Kenyans.
Photos of Jowie and Jacque's father in court have been circulating on social media, showcasing the touching moment between the two men.
