On November 13, 2019, Sarah Wairimu, the wife of the late Tob Cohen, filed an application in court seeking permission to access her palatial home in Nairobi's Kitisuru area.
The application, which was filed in documents, seeks orders granting Wairimu access to the residence to pick her personal belongings, including her dogs, Major and Snow, a Labrador/Rottweiler breed and a Doberman breed respectively.
Wairimu also wants to collect clothes, shoes, handbags, grooming tools, her music collection, golfing equipment, a generator, foodstuff, and beverages of a perishable nature, including alcoholic and soft drinks stored in the kitchen and her office.
Other items she wants to take from the house include electronics, books, personal photographs, pictures, artwork, and files.
Furthermore, Wairimu seeks the court's order to compel the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to release her car to her and to make arrangements for dust covers to be put on all furniture in the house.
According to court papers, Wairimu has lost a significant source of income and is therefore only capable of meeting her immediate subsistence needs.
Wairimu and her co-accused, Peter Karanja, are accused of killing Cohen between July 19th and July 20th this year at an unknown location in Nairobi.
