You're probably right. My active imagination makes me wonder what kind of business is thriving that much in Juba to the point that thugs murder you in Nairobi for a piece of the profits you brought back illegally.

I just have a very strong conviction that Jackie had nothing or idea about this murder, before it happened and after.

As for Jowie, I think he was setup - perfect scapegoat coz of his known flamboyant character. He could have been present but that is not what took him there. The guy was just going for a good time and maybe a f**k with a college buddy who had made it in life. After all he liked moneyed women.

Whoever else, who was in the house was the real killer. Could it be that this person was hiding in the house even before Monica arrived?
Could it be that this person overpowered Jowie after 'coming', tied him up, then tied Monica and slit her throat.

Later he commanded Jowie to drive him out of the premises and drop him somewhere? No wonder the murder weapon has not been found even in sewage tunnels by street kids?

If Jowie is such a professional assassin, could he have been that stupid to leave his prints all over Monica's house including his semen inside her.

The burning of clothes and attempted suicide tells of one scared guy.
He can't live with the truth of knowing the potency of the killer. It reminds of one day around year 2000 a guy I used to sell Reggae CDs to invited me to his house in Kibira. Wah, walking in we found over ten guys rolling weed as they smoked. Kila mtu na karai na bendera.
I froze. Nikapewa moshi mbili. My guy realized I was shocked and terrified and he asked to escort me out. He left me at the railway line.

When I got home I only thought of committing suicide, especially when I remembered I had seen something like a gun. I couldn't help imagining that if cops busted them they could think I did it. It was so scary than death.

Cops have reported that Jowie is very guarded. That guy is scared to the bones. He trusts no one. He knows saying anything means death.

I think Kenya is scared of looking at the right place - South Sudan. Money laundering and illegal arms. Jowie is just the perfect victim....but not very innocent.

Whoever Monica dealt or mis-dealt with is not a small timer.

Why was the ID stolen if it was premeditated? But I think Jowi thought it was a small time job which turned out nasty for him. As we say in our language, the outcome caught his mouth. Poor boy work for your money.

NGO wants Sonko to record statement on the murder.

I also believe the same. He underestimated the job and if he's a scapegoat, then he is perfect.

Probably the girl identified them and started talking 'big'.

I think she knew them already, no? Jennings, Jowie and Monicah must have been friends.

So if the two men knew there was some cash, and that's what they wanted then they'd have either sent in other people to do the job, or deliberately intended to kill Monica.

And the killing would have to exonerate them. They'd work hard to create a cover. Let's just consider the probabilities, that would pass a 'reasonableness' test.

Ama we are talking about people who can't pass the test?

I think the detail(s) of the crime scene show there was a lot of time in and for its execution.

Again robberies don't take too much time. It's normally a quick job. If the two planned it then they'd have done a quick job fitting the situation.

When there are complications, true, the outcome is affected. So you go for simplification. Not complication.

Monica's crime scene is complicated not simple. There's sex/rape, tying of a person, then cutting from ear to ear.

One stab or two in the right place would have killed her quickly.

The crime scene is speaking to us (if at all the reports are correct). The narrative we're building doesn't fit.

Even the DCI's reports are puzzling. For example, if you're an investigator, why make an arrest after n days of investigations and still ask for another 2 weeks?

If we want to investigate this case then let's go do it in fact, but these stories and speculations we're building have doubtful value.

He doesnt talk about the money he exchanged at Eastleigh. I do not think a police officer would run away and hide for that long if he was innocent.
