Published on September 23, 2019, a Nairobi court had granted orders allowing Sarah Wairimu, the detained widow of Tob Cohen, to attend the burial at the Jewish cemetery in Nairobi.
However, the burial was postponed at the eleventh hour due to a religious requirement that only 10 priests and a Rabbi can attend the ceremony, in line with the Jewish religion.
Only eight priests were reportedly available by Monday afternoon, prompting the postponement of the burial.
The burial has since been rescheduled to Tuesday at 2:30 pm.
Lawyer Philip Murgor is expected back in court to seek a variation of the order allowing Cohen's widow Sarah Wairimu to attend the burial.
Wairimu is remanded at the Lang'ata Women's Prison as police complete investigations into her alleged involvement in the murder of her husband.
