The slain businessman Tom Cohen.[File, Standard]
The High Court has granted Sarah Wairimu, wife of slain businessman Tom Cohen, a supervised visit to their Kitisiru home, marking her first access to the premises since her husband’s body was discovered in a septic tank on the property.
Justice Diana Kavedza allowed Wairimu to access the residence under strict police escort, pursuant to an earlier application by the accused. The court further directed that she be granted access to her banking services to manage her financial affairs as the trial proceeds.
The orders followed a request by her new defence counsel, Senior Counsel Pravin Bowry, who sought police-supervised visitation to Cohen’s home for the purpose of inspecting locations relevant to the case. Bowry, who recently took over from Conrade Maloba, has also called for fresh investigations and signalled his intention to build his legal representation from the very scene of the events.
