On September 18, 2019, Justice Stella Mutuku granted Sarah Wairimu, the estranged wife of Dutch tycoon Tob Cohen, access to the Chiromo Mortuary during the postmortem scheduled for Wednesday.
The decision came after the procedure was rescheduled on Tuesday due to objections from Wairimu's lawyers.
Government pathologist Peter Ndegwa recused himself from the exercise, citing unhappiness from Wairimu's lawyers over his remarks at the alleged crime scene.
Dr. Ndegwa explained, 'I was at the scene of the crime on Friday as a pathologist invited by the DCI and some of the lawyers were also there and they picked up something I said/mentioned to the DCI at the alleged crime scene. They happen not to be very happy with that and they have requested that I should not continue representing the DCI.'
Wairimu's lawyers had also requested an X-ray to establish the nature of injuries Cohen suffered, which was conducted on Tuesday night at Kenyatta National Hospital.
