Joseph "Jowie" Irungu, the prime suspect in the gruesome murder of Kilimani businesswoman Monica Kimani is admitted at Kenyatta National Hospital.
He was seen walking around the premises on Tuesday morning with three police officers accompanying him.
Jowie is scheduled to undergo surgery on Wednesday on his left shoulder which he allegedly shot during an alleged suicide attempt.
He is in custody after
Justice James Wakiaga on October 30, denied him bail saying he was a flight risk who is likely to abscond the jurisdiction of the court.
Wakiaga said Jowie, being a person with specialised security training, and
having
handled various guns, he would pause a risk by creating fear and intimidating witnesses.
He is to remain in custody for the rest of the trial period.
