Tob Cohen's Body Found in Septic Tank at Kitisuru Home

On September 13, 2019, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) made a breakthrough in the murder case of Dutch billionaire Tob Cohen, whose body was found in a septic tank at his Kitisuru home in Nairobi, Kenya.

According to reports, the interrogation of a worker at Cohen's home led to the arrest of another suspect, identified as Peter Karanja, who is suspected to be Cohen's estranged wife Sarah Wairimu's lover.

Armed with this information, detectives on Wednesday arrested Karanja. It is the interrogation of Karanja and the worker that led detectives to the septic tank out of which Cohen's body was pulled out on Friday.

DCI George Kinoti said his team stuck to their instincts that Cohen had been murdered in his house and they were right after all.
