Sarah Wairimu, the wife of slain Dutch business magnate Tob Cohen has scored a legal victory in her bid to clear her name in a murder case where she has been named as the prime suspect.
The court on Thursday has granted her wishes to be allowed to access her house in Kitusuru where she stayed with her late husband.
Thanks to the court ruling, Wairimu will now be able to access the valuables in the house including clothes, shoes, and handbags as she had requested in her application.
She had made the application last year through renowned lawyer and former Director of Public Prosecution Philip Murgor.
“My client wants back her house because she still has her personal belongings there and she is still the owner,” Murgor told the court when the application was made.
The order is a blow to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) prosecutors who had sought to have Wairimu denied access to the Kitusuru home.
Charges faced by her were pressed after investigations in which the DCI boss was also involved in.
Cohen's body was found in an underground storage with the hands tied behind at the Kitusuru home. Wairimu has denied that she was involved in the murder.
