The key suspect in the murder of Monica Kimani, Joseph ‘Jowie’ Irungu, on Tuesday made a surprise u-turn after he withdrew a petition seeking the dismissal of Justice James Wakiaga for referring to him as a slay-king and a woman-eater.

Irungu made the decision even before the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) could listen to the petition occasioned by Justice Wakiaga’s ruling on the bail application made by the two suspects in the case.
