Sarah Wairimu Cohen, the wife of deceased Dutch Tycoon, Tob Cohen, was on Friday, October 11, released from prison after spending 44 days in detention.
Wairimu was released an a Ksh2 million cash bail or Ksh4 million bond with the court issuing three tough conditions for her release.
She was ordered not to set foot at her Kitisuru home which was declared a crime scene in the case heard at the Milimani Law Courts in Nairobi.
Justice Stella Mutuku stated that the prosecution failed to prove that Sarah, who was arrested on August 28, is a flight risk.
The judge also dismissed the prosecution’s argument that Wairimu acted in contempt, at Cohen’s burial on September 24, when she sent a warning to Cohen's killers.
On Tuesday, October 1, Wairimu appeared before the court to take a plea but her case was adjourned again as his lawyer Philip Murgor was fighting a case to have him thrown out of the case.
Wairimu who is suspected to have murdered her husband was thrown into detention for two more days.
Her lawyer Phillip Murgor had argued that the state had detained Wairimu for over 30 days which was already an infringement of her rights.
"I am not applying for bail. We are arguing about the rights of Sarah. She has been in court for over 30 days. They should be mindful that she has been denied her liberty for 30 days," Murgor argued.
Dutch tycoon Tob Cohen died after sustaining a blow inflicted by a blunt object on the right side of his head, autopsy results that released on Friday, October 3, revealed.
Detectives drawn from the DCI discovered Tob Cohen's body in a septic tank at his Kitisuru home close to two months after the Dutch billionaire went missing.
