Published on October 29, 2019, a Nakuru businessman, Peter Karanja, has been released on a Sh4 million bond or an alternative cash bail of Sh2 million after weeks of being in detention.

He was accused of killing Dutch businessman Tob Cohen, a case that has been ongoing.

On Tuesday, Judge Daniel Ogembo made the ruling, ordering Karanja not to go anywhere near Cohen's home and to deposit his passport in court.

He has also been warned not to contact any prosecution witnesses in the matter.

The case will be mentioned on November 12 alongside the other suspect, Sarah Wairimu's case, for consolidation.

Judge Ogembo ruled that there were no compelling reasons to deny Karanja bail.
