Published on September 13, 2019, the police have finally found the body of tycoon Tob Cohen, who went missing in July 2019. The billionaire's body was discovered hidden in a septic tank at his home in Kitisuru, Nairobi.
The 71-year-old tours and travel expert was at the time of his disappearance pursuing a divorce case with his estranged wife Sarah Wairimu Kamotho. He had also filed an assault case against his wife, who is now set to face murder charges following the mysterious disappearance of her husband.
According to the charge sheet, Sarah Wairimu Cohen is alleged to have killed Tob Cohen on the night of July 19th and 20th, 2019, within Nairobi County, jointly with others not before the court. Ms. Wairimu had initially told detectives that Cohen had left for Thailand, but there was no evidence to support this claim.
Ms. Wairimu is reported to have said, 'My husband has not come home ever since.' However, detectives found that Mr. Cohen's Mercedes Benz had remained parked in the compound, and he had not contacted his relatives ever since.
