On September 17, 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.
According to reports, the three suspects are believed to have tortured Cohen to death before stuffing his body in an underground water tank at his home in Nairobi's Kitisuru estate.
Authorities said the three have links with Peter Karanja, estranged husband to Gilgil MP Martha Wangari, who is in police custody over the killing of the 71-year-old Dutchman.
Detectives reportedly traced Karanja's phone signal at the crime scene before it went off and then re-emerged in Gilgil, Nakuru County.
It was on July 19, 2019, that Cohen went missing, and nearly two months later, his body was retrieved from the tank on Friday.
His estranged wife Sarah Wairimu Kamotho was the first suspect to be arrested over his disappearance and killing, and she was arraigned in court on Thursday to face murder charges.
Wairimu, who was arrested on August 28th, did not take a plea, and the court ordered she undergoes a mental assessment.
