On November 12, 2019, the prosecution in the Tob Cohen murder case sought to consolidate murder charges against Sarah Wairimu Kamotho and Peter Karanja.
According to the prosecution, the victim was the same, and the particulars of the offence, including dates, place, and time, were also the same.
Senior Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions Catherine Mwaniki argued that the witnesses to be called were the same, and the two files ought to be consolidated.
However, Sarah Wairimu's lawyer, Philip Murgor, opposed the application, stating that it was premature since they had not been supplied with witness statements and exhibits to be used in the trial.
Justice Stella Mutuku will rule on the application later in the day.
