On September 18, 2019, the Dutch were ahead in cracking the case of Tob Cohen's murder, a case that had become a national interest in Kenya.

Autopsy results revealed that Cohen's head was smashed, and his body showed signs of torture, according to a scan of his remains.

According to the Dutch newspaper AD, the scan images showed that Cohen's skull was smashed, his hands broken, and his left leg twisted.

Police launched a manhunt for the killers, suspecting around four people, including Cohen's wife Sarah Wairimu, who was arrested in August based on analysis of her telephone traffic.

While Sarah Wairimu claims to be innocent, she was reported to have collapsed on seeing the body of her husband, saying she wasn't sure it was him.

Both lawyers of Sarah and Cohen's family have agreed to come to an amicable day to bury the Dutchman in Nairobi any day this week.
