Published on November 14, 2019, Sarah Wairimu, the widow of murdered Dutch billionaire Tob Cohen, has petitioned the court to compel her to collect personal belongings from her husband's Sh400 million mansion.
The Kisturu home, where Cohen's body was discovered in a septic tank in September, has been cordoned off as a crime scene.
Wairimu's lawyer, Philip Murgor, has compiled a list of personal items she needs to collect, including alcoholic drinks, handbags, golfing equipment, and electronics.
The list also includes foodstuffs, clothes, grooming tools, wine glasses, plates, dishes, cups, and cutlery items, as well as artwork, furniture, and a Honda generator.
Wairimu is also seeking the release of two dogs, named Major and Snow, and her personal vehicle, which are currently in state custody.
She accuses Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti of irregularly confiscating her valuable rottweiler dogs, which are from the rare Labrador and Doberman breeds.
This is one of the many twists and turns in the case where Wairimu and a Gilgil businessman are accused of murdering the late Cohen.
