Jacque also told the court of how things played out that fateful night when Irungu shot himself.<\/p>\n

She said that she panicked after Irungu shot himself but when she went for her phone, she returned only to find Irungu gone.<\/p>\n

“I ran out and found Jowie lying down. Brayan and his wife Kate ran out to where Joseph was lying bleeding,” she narrated.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
