On October 30, 2019, Sarah Wairimu, the widow of Dutch Tycoon Tob Cohen, appeared in court seeking access to her marital home in Kitisuru to retrieve personal effects and her car.
Through her lawyer Philip Murgor, Wairimu explained that she has no clothes and personal effects, and is currently relying on her relatives and friends for support.
She also pointed out that it has been hard for her to move around without her car, which she wants released.
However, State Counsel Catherine Mwaniki opposed the request, stating that the house is a crime scene and Wairimu cannot be allowed in the house, while the vehicle is an exhibit because it was used by the deceased.
Justice Stella Mutuku directed Murgor to file a formal application listing the items Wairimu needed from the house, so that they can determine what are exhibits in the case she is a suspect in the murder of her late husband Cohen.
The case will be mentioned next Tuesday.
