On October 5, 2019, the postmortem examination results of Dutch tycoon Tob Cohen were released, revealing that he died from multiple blows to the head using a blunt object.

The autopsy report, filed at the high court, showed that Cohen was brutally murdered. The report's findings are nothing short of gruesome.

According to the report, the fatal blow was delivered to Cohen's side of the head, just above the eye. Both hands had fractures, with bruises on top, and his upper lip was torn from the inside.

The report also indicated that Cohen had multiple rib injuries and bruises on the diaphragm.

Wairimu, Cohen's widow and the main suspect in his murder, will remain in custody until next week Friday awaiting a ruling on her bail application.

Renowned city lawyer Cliff Ombeta, representing Cohen's family, asked the court to deny Wairimu bail, citing concerns for the family's safety if she was released.

Ombeta stated, 'As of now, we don't know where she will go if released because her home is a crime scene. She is better off in custody. Both Wairimu and Mugor have spoken with witnesses and coached witnesses. Both of them are now dangerous. How do we trust these people? The kind of death meted on Cohen was gruesome.'
