On September 25, 2019, lawyer Philip Murgor, representing Sarah Wairimu in the murder case of her Dutch husband Tob Cohen, filed a complaint with the Parklands Police Station against former Gatundu North MP Patrick Muiruri.
Murgor alleged that Muiruri threatened him during Cohen's burial, hurling obscenities and making a threat after Murgor politely asked Muiruri's daughter to leave the Jewish Cemetery, as the funeral was a private ceremony for family only.
According to Murgor, Muiruri insulted him in front of other lawyers representing the estate of the slain businessman, saying 'fk you' and shouting 'I will deal with you outside'.
Fortunately, Muiruri was restrained by advocates Chege Kirundi and Cliff Ombeta, who were present at the scene, and witnessed by George Ouma.
Murgor took the outburst as a threat to intimidate him as an advocate for Mrs. Cohen and has since recorded his complaint with the police, asking them to investigate Muiruri's intentions and the threats.
Wairimu, the key suspect in Cohen's murder, is set to take plea on Thursday, September 26, 2019.
Cohen went missing on July 19, 2019, and his body was found dumped in an underground water tank at his Kitisuru home 55 days later.
