Police in Nairobi have finally found the body of missing Dutch tycoon Tob Cohen in a septic tank within his compound in Kitisuru.
According to Director of Criminal Investigations boss George Kinoti, the late Cohen's body was discovered on Friday afternoon, dumped in a tank in the compound.
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, who had told detectives that her husband had left for Thailand.
However, detectives say there is no evidence from the immigration department that the missing tycoon had left the country.
Ms Wairimu had initially told Mr Cohen's friends that he had left for Thailand to seek medical treatment, but detectives were intrigued by the disappearance since it happened shortly after two letters, dated July 20, 2019, that purported to withdraw both the divorce and assault case were sent to Mr Cohen's lawyers.
One of the questions that detectives assigned to the case are grappling with is: Did Mr Cohen write those two letters?
