Why Sarah Wairimu desperately wants to access her marital home
The widow of Dutch Tycoon Tob Cohen now wants the court to allow her access her marital home in Kitisuru to get her personal effects and her car.
Sarah Wairimu, through her lawyer Philip Murgor, on Wednesday told the court she has no clothes and personal effects and is currently relying on her relatives and friends.
She also pointed out that it has been hard for her to move around without her car and wants it released.
In response, State Counsel Catherine Mwaniki said the house is a crime scene and Wairimu cannot be allowed in the house and the vehicle is an exhibit because it was used by the deceased.
Justice Stella Mutuku directed Murgor to file a formal application listing the items his client needed from the house so that they can determine what are exhibit in the case she is a suspect in the murder of her late husband Cohen.
The case will be mentioned next Tuesday.
