On October 11, 2019, Lady Justice Stella Mutuku granted Sarah Wairimu, the widow of Tob Cohen, Ksh2 million cash bail or Ksh4 million bond with two sureties.
However, before Wairimu pays bail or bond, she must provide testimonials of her upkeep to secure her release.
The court ordered that Wairimu should not contact Cohen's two siblings or intimidate witnesses in any way.
She was also ordered not to set foot or go near Tob Limited, the business operated by the deceased.
The court directed that Wairimu's passport remain with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations.
While granting Wairimu's prayer, the judge said bail was a constitutional right and can only be denied under compelling reasons.
The prosecution expressed dissatisfaction with the ruling and promised to appeal.
