On September 24, 2019, Tob Cohen, a Dutch businessman, was finally laid to rest at the Jewish cemetery in Nairobi, following a long delay.
His estranged wife, Sarah Wairimu, who is accused of killing him, was among the mourners who attended the burial, escorted by prison officers to the cemetery on Wangari Maathai Road shortly before 3 am.
Wairimu was seen holding a white handkerchief and wiping her tears as priests performed final rituals in line with Jewish traditions.
"Those who killed Tob to stop pretending to be sheep," The Star quoted Wairimu as saying.
The casket carrying Cohen's remains was lowered into the grave a few minutes to 5 pm, with prominent personalities including former government spokesperson Muthui Kariuki, President Kenyatta's cousins Ngengi Muigai and Captain Kung'u Muigai, and lawyers Cliff Ombeta and Philip Murgor in attendance.
Members of the Kenyan Jewish community and officials from the Dutch Embassy in Nairobi also attended the burial.
