Citizen TV anchor Jacque Maribe presented herself to police on Thursday afternoon accompanied by close relatives to record a statement on the gruesome death of Monica Kimani.

The TV anchor arrived at Kilimani police station accompanied by relatives and was directed to the Divisional Criminal Investigations Office for interrogation.

Reports indicate that police took her fingerprints to assist in investigations.
