On September 24, 2019, a somber scene unfolded at the Nairobi Jewish cemetery as family and friends of murdered Dutch billionaire Tob Cohen gathered to pay their last respects.

Among them was Cohen's widow, Sarah Wairimu, who had been incarcerated at Langata Women's prison over connections to the disappearance and later murder of the Dutch national.

Despite their estranged relationship, Wairimu was by her husband's graveside, a poignant reminder of the complexities of the case.

As the burial took place, Cohen's brother expressed his desire to give his brother a dignified burial, stating, 'We have to bury Tob Cohen a second time, with dignity.'
