Tob Cohen’s widow, Sarah Wairimu, maintains she did not kill the Dutch tycoon, and that she is ready to take her court battle to the wire to prove her innocence.
Speaking at Cohen’s burial at the Jewish Cemetery on Wangari Maathai Road on Tuesday, September 24, Wairimu suggested that her husband’s killers were shedding crocodile tears at his interment.
“I am not scared of anybody. One thing that Tob taught me, is not to take no for an answer. So, even in this, I am going to fight,” she said emphatically.

“Even as we stand here, the people who are responsible for Tob’s death… are also here in sheep’s skin… Believe you me, your days are numbered,” added Sarah Wairimu.
“It has been painful, but I am glad that close friends stuck by me. I do not have enough words to say thank you to the legal counsel.
“I have seen a few friends here and there… There are ‘fake’ family members, and those who are purporting to be family members… But, yours is another story,” she added.
“Thank you to the prison authorities and all the other law enforcement officers, who have let me come to bury my husband. It is not a secret: everybody knows Sarah… I am known as Sarah Tob’s. And now more so, everyone knows my name… And, I am glad you realised that I am Sarah Cohen. So, let that be very clear. Thank you all,” she said before handing back the microphone to the event emcee.
Tob Cohen, a golf tour millionaire and former Philips East Africa boss, was reported missing on July 19, and his body found 55 days later in his Kitisuru home.
Wairimu, the key suspect in Cohen’s murder, is set to take plea on Thursday, September 26.
