On August 28, 2019, police in Kenya arrested Sarah Wairimu Kamotho, the estranged wife of missing Dutch tycoon Tob Cohen, as investigations into his disappearance intensified.
According to DCI boss George Kinoti, Wairimu was being held as a prime suspect in the disappearance, with fears that Cohen may have been killed.
"She is the prime suspect and that is why she was arrested," Kinoti said, "We suspect he may have been killed and that is why we want to seek more time from court to continue detaining her until the investigation is completed."
Wairimu had previously told police that Cohen was last seen on July 20, when he left their Kitisuru home in Nairobi, and has never been seen again.
Cohen, a former chief executive officer of Dutch conglomerate Philips East Africa, had lived in Kenya for many years.
The investigation into the mysterious disappearance of the celebrated golf tournament organizer could be extended to The Netherlands.
