On September 16, 2019, detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) were still on the trail of three suspects allegedly involved in the murder of Dutch tycoon Tob Cohen.
The body of the 71-year-old businessman was retrieved from an underground water tank at his home in Nairobi's Kitisuru estate on Friday, nearly two months after he went missing on July 19, 2019.
According to authorities, the three suspects, whose identities have not been revealed, traveled from Nakuru to Kitisuru on the day Cohen was murdered and have links with Peter Karanja, estranged husband to Gilgil MP Martha Wangari, who is in police custody over the killing.
Detectives reportedly traced Karanja's phone signal at the crime scene before it went off and then re-emerged in Gilgil, Nakuru County.
Earlier, Cohen's estranged wife Sarah Wairimu Kamotho was arrested on August 28th and arraigned in court on Thursday to face murder charges, but did not take a plea. The court ordered she undergoes a mental assessment.
As part of their investigation, homicide detectives will reportedly probe alleged Mpesa transactions, messages and other communications between Ms. Wairimu and Karanja.
