Renowned television talk show host Tony Gachoka has revealed that slain Dutch business tycoon Tob Cohen was his friend.
Mr Gachoka made the revelation on Twitter on Saturday, a day after Tob Cohen's body was discovered in an underground tank.
He went on to express his gratitude to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss George Kinoti for leading the investigations that discovered the body of the Dutchman.
In the tweet, Gachoka shared an update from DCI Kinoti noting that Cohen was blindfolded before being killed inside his own house.
"@DCI_Kenya this guy Cohen was my friend & the late Ruiru Gikonyo of Phillips Kenya. I salute you Mr Kinoti. @StateHouseKenya Uhuru said kuna wazee hawacheki na watu:-TOB Cohen update: Kinoti says he was blindfolded, tied & murdered inside his own house; looking for more suspects," Tony Gachoka's tweet read.
Tob Cohen had interests that ranged from golfing to transport.
He disappeared 40 days ago, prompting the DCI sleuths to launch an investigation into his disappearance.
His wife, Sarah Wairimu, was held in police custody as the investigations went on.
The prosecution has put her at the centre of the alleged murder of the Dutch business magnet.
In an earlier tweet, Tony Gachoka expressed shock at the death of Cohen.
