New testimony has emerged revealing that Tob Cohen withdrew his assault complaint against his wife, Sarah Wairimu, weeks before his death. This development adds a new layer of complexity to the ongoing investigation into Cohen's murder.

The case has been marked by several unsuccessful attempts by police to arrest Sarah Wairimu prior to Cohen's death. This has raised questions about the handling of the investigation and the dynamics between the couple. On April 17, 2019, Cohen wrote to the police, formally withdrawing his assault complaint against Wairimu. Despite this, police efforts to apprehend Wairimu continued, suggesting possible communication breakdowns within law enforcement.

Cohen's decision to withdraw the complaint is significant, as it could indicate a change in his relationship with Wairimu or a reconsideration of the events leading to the complaint. However, Cohen did not provide police with Wairimu's contact details or her whereabouts, complicating their attempts to locate her.

Lawyer Shadrack Wambui has questioned why Sarah Wairimu was not charged despite Cohen's initial report. This question highlights potential gaps in the legal proceedings and has fueled public interest in the case.

The new testimony underscores the complexities surrounding Tob Cohen's murder investigation. As authorities continue to piece together the circumstances of his death, the withdrawal of the assault complaint adds another dimension to the narrative, leaving many questions unanswered.
