On October 3, 2019, the autopsy results of Dutch tycoon Tob Cohen's death were released, shedding new light on the circumstances surrounding his mysterious demise.

According to the findings, Cohen died after sustaining a severe blow to the right side of his head, inflicted by a blunt object. This revelation has sparked further investigation into the events leading up to his death.

As previously reported, Cohen's body was discovered in a septic tank at his Kitisuru home, where he had been missing for nearly two months. The discovery was made by Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) detectives.

Pathologists collected ten samples from the septic tank for examination and investigation. The postmortem report revealed that the body found was that of a white male of European origin, preserved through refrigeration, and wrapped in black, yellow, and red polythene bags.

The report also confirmed that parts of Cohen's body had already decomposed, with his eyes blindfolded and hands and feet bound to the neck with a rope. Furthermore, the body showed multiple rib injuries and bruises on the diaphragm, with his hands also fractured.

These findings have led to Sarah Wairimu being charged with the murder of her husband Tob Cohen, a case that continues to be a subject of public interest.
