Maribe says she was only charged because she was in a love relationship with a person the prosecution has interest in.

She admits to being in a relationship and living in the same house with Jowie, the co-accused.

She also allowed him to use her car.

"Except for these three aspects of association with a person the prosecution is interested in, the prosecution on its face has no witnesses and or forensic material to associate me with the murder directly or indirectly," Maribe says.

She adds that is it evident from the affidavits of the DPP and Monica’s family that she was not involved in the murder, was not at the scene of the murder, had no knowledge of the deceased, and had no conscious knowledge of any persons known to the deceased.

"No motive exists, and none can be ascribed to me as to the murder," Maribe says.

Maribe also says that the DPP cannot use her communication with Irungu as a basis to deny her bail as it has already been established that the two were lovers.

"Without a doubt, the 1st accused was my fiance as at then. In the circumstances, I definitely communicated with him. It is most unfair to use the communications between me and the 1st accused in the given circumstances of our then existing relationship as a reason to withhold bail," Maribe says.

INVESTIGATORS TOOK PHONE

She further adds that she has never engaged in any communication with anyone to discuss the issue of the murder under trial whatsoever “and none of my communication supports the prosecution’s theory expressly or impliedly.”

Maribe adds that the investigators have had her phone since September 29 and have already told her that they have completed its analysis.

"If it implicated me, the DPP would have maintained it in this application," she says.

On the allegation that Irungu burnt clothes in her house, Maribe says that she was was not aware of any burning.

"It is admitted that the 1st accused resided and lived in my house. The 1st Accused could, therefore, use the space on his own, and any of his actions are not necessarily sanctioned or attributable to me," Maribe says.

She adds, "The investigators in the course of investigating showed me where they said the fire was lit. The location is not in my residence nor my compound. It is away from the compound hence it is false to allege the burning was within my residence."
