Citizen TV anchor Jacque Maribe and her fiancé Joseph Irungu alias Jowie were charged afresh on Wednesday. The prosecution asked to amend the charge sheet.

Justice James Wakiaga allowed their application.The two have denied killing businesswoman Monica Kimani on September 19 at her  apartment in Kilimani.

The court adjourned the bail application hearing for 10 minutes to allow the defence lawyers to go through the pre-bail report for the two accused persons filed in court by the probation officer.
