Sarah Cohen Wairimu, the widow of slain Dutch billionaire, Tob Cohen, was released on a Ksh2 million bail on Friday, October 11, and with tough conditions to follow outside remand.
The court required Wairimu not to go anywhere near her house as the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) had declared it a crime scene.
Wairimu was also barred from travelling outside the country in order for the court and DCI to handle the investigations fully with her cooperation.
Her parents were asked to file testimonials in court mentioning that they would accommodate her while she was out on bail.
Sarah had spent 44 days in detention after she was arrested in connection with the murder of her husband who went missing on July 19 and found in a tank in their Kitisuru home on September 13.
"We are praying to be allowed to seek legal address at the Court of Appeal," the prosecution claimed as they expressed their disappointment.
Wairimu had been released before to attend the burial of her husband. High Court on Monday, September 23, Judge Stella Mutuku ordered that Sarah should be escorted to the Jewish Cemetery at 2 p.m. to attend her late husband's burial
The court's decision came ahead of Cohen's burial that took place on Monday, at 2 p.m. at a Jewish Cemetary on Wangari Maathai Road in Nairobi.
Her husband had been found murdered in a tank by a team of detectives from DCI led by George Kinoti.
Kinoti, on Friday, September 13, narrated how the Dutch billionaire, Tob Cohen, was murdered.
"Cohen was murdered in his own residence. It is a gruesome murder. They took their time to kill innocent Cohen. I will not describe much now, but in the subsequent unfolding of events," the DCI boss disclosed.
"He was bound, hands, legs and the neck, before he was murdered and then they hid him in an underground water tank," he emotionally explained.
