Tob Cohen: Lawyer Claims DCI Planted Late Tycoon's Body in Tank ¶
September 14, 2019
Lawyer Philip Murgor has sparked outrage online after claiming that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) planted the body of late businessman Tob Cohen in a tank.
According to Murgor, the DCI had knowledge of Cohen's whereabouts and deliberately planted his body in the tank to frame his wife, Sarah Wairimu.
"Maafisa wa polisi walifahamu alikokuwa. Walienda katika tanki hilo na wakaanza kuchimba mahali hapo. Changarawe kando ya tanki hilo inaashiria taswira ya kwamba palichimbwa hivi karibuni na wakati hayo yakifanyika Wairimu hajakuwa bomani humo kwa siku 16 kwani boma lake pia limekuwa chini ya ulinzi mkali wa polisi," Murgor said.
However, the claims have been met with skepticism online, with many netizens accusing Murgor of trying to defend his client.
"Amefungwa. Siwezi thibitisha ni Tob Cohen. Mwili huo uko katika hali mbaya ingawaje ni wa binadamu. Mwili huo ulifunikwa kabla ya kutupwa kwenye shimo hilo. Waulizeni hao watu ni kwa nini walikuwa na hakika alikuwa ameaga," DCI George Kinoti said in response to Murgor's claims.
The controversy surrounding Cohen's death has sparked a heated debate online, with many calling for justice for the late businessman.
