The money has not been found even as the state prepares to charge Joseph ‘Jowie’ Irungu and his fiancé Jacque Maribe with her murder.

The Star reported that when she landed at JKIA, Kimani was detained for several hours as she had large amounts of undeclared cash in foreign currency.

The daily further reported that she was released after intervention by a highly-connected individual.
