On Monday, September 16, 2019, a High Court judge granted a last-minute request to delay the post-mortem examination of Tob Cohen's body.
The exam, initially scheduled for Monday afternoon at the Chiromo Mortuary, has been pushed to Tuesday.
The delay was requested by Sarah Wairimu, Cohen's estranged wife and a suspect in his murder, through her lawyer Philip Murgor.
Wairimu cited the unavailability of her independent pathologist, Prof Andrew Kanyi Gachii, who would be conducting the examination.
Prof Gachii had requested to meet with key players in the case and visit Cohen's home in Kitisuru, particularly the area around the water storage tank where the businessman's body was retrieved.
He also requested adequate facilities for the procedure, including containers for collecting samples.
The body was found wrapped in a black polythene bag with a rope tied around his neck, and his hands were tied in the front.
DCI boss George Kinoti had previously stated that Cohen died a painful death, with evidence of torture before his murder.
